What causes this issue?

To determine the contribution-liable income from capital benefits
according to sec. 229 par. 1 SGB V, the payment amount of the capital
benefit must be assessed over ten years (which corresponds to 1/120th
monthly. Contributions are not deducted if the monthly amount after
dividing the contribution-liable payment amount by 120 exceeds 1/20th of
the monthly reference value, as specified in sec. 18 par. 1 SGB IV.
Therefore, the period for the capital benefit can only include full
months - that is, the period must begin on the first day of the month
and end on the last day of the month. Also see the circular from the
umbrella organizations from February 23, 2007: <ZK>Health Insurance and
