(b) *Number of QCs you need.* The QCs you need for fully insured status are in column II opposite your date of birth in column I. If a worker dies before reaching retirement age as described in [§ 404.110(b)(2)](/on/2024-09-03/title-20/section-404.110#p-404.110(b)(2)), the QCs needed for fully insured status are shown in column IV opposite—

(1) The year of death in column III, if the worker was born before January 2, 1930; or

(2) The age in the year of death in column V, if the worker was born after January 1, 1930.

(c) *How a period of disability affects the number of QCs you need.* If you had a period of disability established for you, it affects the number of QCs you need to be fully insured (see [§ 404.110(c)](/on/2024-09-03/title-20/section-404.110#p-404.110(c))). For each year which is wholly or partly in a period of disability, subtract one QC from the number of QCs shown in the appropriate line and column of the table as explained in [paragraph (b)](/on/2024-09-03/title-20/section-404.115#p-404.115(b)) of this section.
