There are 26 QTRs elapsing after the QTR of age 21 attainment (the 3rd QTR of 1961)
and the QTR of disability onset, John required 13 QC's to meet the special insured
status earnings test. Since John had 13 QC's during this period, they were entitled
to a period of disability. John's disability ceased 04/15/81. Their benefits terminated
7/81. Since no benefits were paid after 6/81, the period of disability ended on the
last day of 6/81 (the last payment month). This quarter is a QC, however, and must
be counted for any subsequent insured status.
John again files for DIB 6/83, alleging they became disabled 2/11/83. An MBR establishes
the dates of the prior period of disability, and their ER reflects the following:

There are 33 QTRs elapsing after the QTR of attainment of age 21 up to and including
the QTR of onset. We exclude from the elapsed period the 1st QTR of 1968 through the
first QTR of 1981. John requires and has 16 QC's to be entitled to a second period
of disability beginning 2/11/83. (If John had an additional 2 QC'S in any quarter
not part of the PPD, the provisions of the 1983 amendments would not apply since they
would meet the 20/40 and fully insured tests).
