The IRP is completed when the individual has completed a total of 24 months of entitlement
in which the work activity is below the SGA level. After an individual's SGA status
would allow payment of 24-months of, not necessarily consecutive, reinstated benefits
(which includes the provisional benefit period and any period of retroactivity, offset
months, deduction, suspense and overpayment collection months) the individual is entitled
to:
-
•
a new 9-month trial work period;
-
•
a new 36-month reinstatement period (extended period of eligibility);
-
•
a new 60-month period to file an EXR request if the reinstated benefits terminate
due to SGA earnings; and
-
•
a new period of extended Medicare coverage.
