Most general information about “working while disabled” is included in the SSA pamphlet
enclosed in all disability award notices, SSA Publication No 05-10153 and should not
be duplicated in the body of the award notice.
Listed below are common “working while disabled” scenarios:
-
1.
LESS THAN 9 TWP MONTH USED
-
2.
SOME TWP MONTHS—FUTURE TWP EXPIRATION (CURRENT WORK)
-
3.
TWP EXPIRED, BUT WORK STOPPED OR ONGOING WORK NOT SGA
-
4.
TWP EXPIRED, DIB CESSATION WITH S7 SUSPENSION (EPE NOT OVER)
-
5.
TWP EXPIRED, DIB CESSATION WITH S7 SUSPENSION & T8 EPE TERMINATION
-
6.
TWP EXPIRED, DISABILITY CESSATION WITH REINSTATEMENT MONTHS
-
7.
SGA CESSATION WITH NO TWP OR TWP-NO EPE CASES
-
The scenarios may not fit every situation; however, adjudicators can select AURORA
paragraphs, or use AURORA paragraphs in connection with any other MADCAP or EC paragraphs
to fit their particular situation. Some paragraphs may not have been updated with
the current self-employment TWP hours; therefore, in self-employment cases, use MADCAP
dictated language paragraphs M30 or M31 to furnish current information about self-employment
activity.
