Query the MBR to determine if the claimant was previously entitled to a disability
benefit under Title II (i.e., disabled number holder, disabled surviving spouse, or
disabled child). If entitlement has terminated, determine the reason for termination.
A combination of three of the following MBR entries, along with a Ledger Account File
(LAF) code of T6, T8, U, or X7, indicates entitlement terminated due to the performance
of SGA:
-
•
BENEFIT Line - reason for suspension/termination (RFST) coding of DIBCES.
-
•
DIB Line - Cessation Disability Reason-code of E.
NOTE: A medical cessation input after the SGA cessation may overlay the CDR entry with
an entry of M. A CDR field coding of M is not conclusive evidence that benefits did
not terminate due to SGA.
-
•
DIB Line - A difference between the extended period of eligibility begin date (EBD)
and the disability benefit cessation (DBC) dates of three or more years.
-
•
DIB Line - An entry in the extended period of eligibility Medicare begin date (EMD)
field that is at least 78 months earlier than the Medicare Part A termination date
(or 24 months earlier if the Part A termination date is prior to 10/1/00).
-
•
HI-DIB Line - A Medicare Part A termination date more than 78 months (or 24 months
if termination date is prior to 10/1/00) after the applicant's disability cessation
date (ADC).
-
•
HISTORY Line - an RFST of EPESGA in the SUSP/TERM field, followed by DIBCES in subsequent
lines.
