by the ratio of the national average wage 

index for 2003 to that for 1998; or (2) 

such amount for 2004. In either case, if 

the resulting amount is not a multiple 

of $10, it shall be rounded to the nearest 

multiple of $10. 

SGA Amount for Statutorily Blind 

Individuals 

Multiplying the 1994 monthly SGA 

amount for statutorily blind individuals 

($930) by the ratio of the national 

average wage index for 2003 

($34,064.95) to that for 1992 

($22,935.42) produces the amount of 

$1,381.29. We then round this amount 

to $1,380. Because $1,380 is larger than 

the current amount of $1,350, the 

monthly SGA amount for statutorily 

blind individuals is $1,380 for 2005. 

SGA Amount for Non-Blind Disabled 

Individuals

Multiplying the 2000 monthly SGA 

amount for non-blind individuals ($700) 

by the ratio of the national average wage 

index for 2003 ($34,064.95) to that for 

1998 ($28,861.44) produces the amount 

of $826.20. We then round this amount 

to $830. Because $830 is larger than the 

current amount of $810, the monthly 

SGA amount for non-blind disabled 

individuals is $830 for 2005. 

Trial Work Period Earnings Threshold 

General 

During a trial work period, a 

beneficiary receiving Social Security 

disability benefits may test his or her 

ability to work and still be considered 

disabled. We do not consider services 

performed during the trial work period 

as showing that the disability has ended 

until services have been performed in at 

least 9 months (not necessarily 

consecutive) in a rolling 60-month 

period. In 2004, any month in which 

earnings exceed $580 is considered a 

month of services for an individual’s 

trial work period. In 2005, this monthly 

amount increases to $590. 

Computation 

The method used to determine the 

new amount is set forth in our 

regulations at 20 CFR 404.1592(b). 

Monthly earnings in 2005, used to 

determine whether a month is part of a 

trial work period, is such amount for 

2001 ($530) multiplied by the ratio of 

the national average wage index for 

2003 to that for 1999, or, if larger, such 

amount for 2004. If the amount so 

calculated is not a multiple of $10, we 

round it to the nearest multiple of $10. 

Amount 

Multiplying the 2001 monthly 

earnings threshold ($530) by the ratio of 

the national average wage index for 

2003 ($34,064.95) to that for 1999 

($30,469.84) produces the amount of 

$592.53. We then round this amount to 

$590. Because $590 is larger than the 

current amount of $580, the monthly 

earnings threshold is $590 for 2005. 

Domestic Employee Coverage 

Threshold 

General 

The minimum amount a domestic 

worker must earn so that such earnings 

are covered under Social Security or 

Medicare is the domestic employee 

coverage threshold. For 2005, this 

threshold is $1,400. Section 3121(x) of 

the Internal Revenue Code provides the 

formula for increasing the threshold. 

Computation 

Under the formula, the domestic 

employee coverage threshold amount 

for 2005 shall be equal to the 1995 

amount of $1,000 multiplied by the ratio 

of the national average wage index for 

2003 to that for 1993. If the resulting 

amount is not a multiple of $100, it 

shall be rounded to the next lower 

multiple of $100. 

Domestic Employee Coverage Threshold 

Amount 

Multiplying the 1995 domestic 

employee coverage threshold amount 

($1,000) by the ratio of the national 

average wage index for 2003 

($34,064.95) to that for 1993 

($23,132.67) produces the amount of 

$1,472.59. We then round this amount 

to $1,400. Accordingly, the domestic 

employee coverage threshold amount is 

$1,400 for 2005. 

Election Worker Coverage Threshold 

General 

The minimum amount an election 

worker must earn so that such earnings 

are covered under Social Security or 

Medicare is the election worker 

coverage threshold. For 2005, this 

threshold is $1,200. Section 218(c)(8)(B) 

of the Act provides the formula for 

increasing the threshold. 

Computation 

Under the formula, the election 

worker coverage threshold amount for 

2005 shall be equal to the 1999 amount 

of $1,000 multiplied by the ratio of the 

national average wage index for 2003 to 

that for 1997. If the amount so 

determined is not a multiple of $100, it 

shall be rounded to the nearest multiple 

of $100. 

Election Worker Coverage Threshold 

Amount 

Multiplying the 1999 election worker 

coverage threshold amount ($1,000) by 

the ratio of the national average wage 

index for 2003 ($34,064.95) to that for 

1997 ($27,426.00) produces the amount 

of $1,242.07. We then round this 

amount to $1,200. Accordingly, the 

election worker coverage threshold 

amount is $1,200 for 2005.
