When evaluating for SGA, consider the following factors:
-
•
Did the earnings represent the person’s own productivity?
-
•
How many hours did the person work, and what was their rate of pay?
-
•
Was employer subsidy, or impairment-related work expenses involved?
-
•
Was there a special employment situation such as government-sponsored programs, foreign
work, or sheltered employment?
-
•
Was the person in the military?
-
•
Did the person receive pay for non-work (sick and vacation pay, holiday pay, or any
bonuses, etc.)?
-
•
Did the countable earnings exceed the SGA threshold?
