The period of disability of a disabled individual can end with the later  of the:

• •

  Second month after the month disability ceases due to SGA, or

• •

  Last month of payment for persons whose benefits are reinstated during the EPE after the SGA cessation.

If a person's impairment is not disabling at some time after the 9-month TWP is completed, the period of disability will end with the earlier of the:

• •

  Second month after the month the impairment is not disabling.

• •

  Last month of payment based on SGA.

1. a. 

   Disability ceased 1/89 due to SGA. Payments are made for the month of cessation and the 2 succeeding months, then placed in suspense status effective 4/89. The disabled person performs SGA throughout the reinstatement period. The period of disability ends 3/89,i.e., the second month after the month disability ceased due to SGA.

2. b. 

   Disability ceased 1/89 due to SGA. Payments are made for the month of cessation and the 2 succeeding months, then placed in suspense status effective 4/89. Payments are reinstated 7/89 due to below SGA earnings, suspended 9/89 due to a return to SGA, reinstated 12/89 due to below SGA earnings, and suspended again in 3/90 due to SGA level work. SGA continued. The period of disability ends 2/90, i.e., the last month of payment after the SGA cessation.
