A TWP diary set at the first report of work matures, and the individual is not protected
from a medical review as provided under Section 111 of P.L. 106-170. The Ticket to
Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999, which provides the following “Protection
from Medical Review Based on Work Activity”:
-
a.
Title II disability beneficiaries have the option to return to work by ensuring work
activity alone will not trigger a medical CDR.
-
b.
Beneficiaries who are entitled to Title II, or concurrently entitled to both Title
II and Title XVI benefits for at least 24 months will not be subject to a medical
CDR triggered solely because of their work activity.
When a Title II beneficiary completes a TWP, it is necessary to investigate all work
(including work performed during the TWP) to determine whether the work activity indicates
the ability to perform substantial gainful activity and result in a continuance or
cessation.
