35Or, in the case of a child under age 18 receiving 

Supplemental Security Income payments, the new 

impairment(s) must be so severe as to result in 

marked and severe functional limitations. See 20 

CFR 416.998. 

36See 20 CFR 404.1594(g) and 416.994(b)(6), 

416.994a(g), for how we determine the month in 

which the individual’s last impairment(s) is no 

longer disabling.

38See sections 216(i), 223(d), 1614(a) of the Act,

functionally equals the listings.33 We 

will decide that the MDI(s) functionally 

equals the listings if it results in marked 

limitations in two domains of 

functioning, or an extreme limitation in 

one domain of functioning for a 

continuous 12-month period.34 If the 

child’s MDI(s) does not meet, medically 

equal, or functionally equal the listings, 

or does not meet the duration 

requirement, we will find the child is 

not disabled. 

6. How do we consider the duration 

requirement when the claimant has a 

new, severe MDI(s) in CDRs cases? 

In CDR cases, the beneficiary or 

recipient has already satisfied the 

duration requirement and established 

disability. As a result, we only consider 

the duration requirement when the 

impairment for which the claimant was 

originally found disabled has improved, 

and disability ended. 

How we consider duration when 

evaluating a new severe MDI(s) depends 

on whether the new MDI(s) is disabling 

and, if so, when it became disabling. To 

be disabling, the new impairment(s) 

must be so severe as to prevent SGA.35

If the previously established MDI(s) is 

no longer disabling but the new, severe 

MDI(s) is disabling, and if the new 

disabling MDI(s) begins in, or before, the 

month in which the previously 

established MDI(s) is no longer 

disabling,36 we do not consider duration 

and will find that disability continues.37

If, however, the claimant has a new 

disabling MDI(s) that begins after the 

month in which the last impairment(s) 

was no longer disabling, we consider 

the duration requirement and determine 

whether to establish a new period of 

disability using the rules for initial 

claims. 

7. What if we find that the claimant’s 

MDI(s) meets the duration requirement 

based on an expectation of continued 

severity, but the claimant returned to 

SGA within 12 months? 

A claimant who recovers their ability 

to engage in SGA within 12 months is 

not disabled under the Act.38 How we 

evaluate an actual return to work that is 

SGA depends, in part, on whether we 

have already approved an award of 

benefits. 

If we have not issued a final 

determination or decision that the 

individual was disabled and entitled to 

benefits, and we determine the 

individual returned to work within 12 

months of the first date the individual’s 

MDI(s) otherwise met the definition of 

disability, we deny the claim. If we 

issued a final determination or decision 

that the individual was disabled, and 

we later find that the individual has 

returned to SGA after an award of 

benefits, but within the 12-month 

period after onset, we do not reopen and 

reverse the determination or decision. 

This is because once disability 

payments begin, individuals might be 

entitled to a trial work period (Title II), 

or to continued Supplemental Security 

Income payments under section 1619(a) 

of the Act.39

If we issued a final determination or 

decision that the individual was entitled 

to disability insurance benefits and we 

later determine the individual returned 

to SGA during the 5-month waiting 

period for Title II, we may reopen and 

revise the determination or decision to 

issue a denial. These individuals are not 

entitled to any disability benefit 

payments. If we later determine the 

return to work was an unsuccessful 

work attempt,40 we may reopen and 

revise the denial to issue an allowance. 

However, we can only reopen the 

determination or decision within the 

time limitations under the rules of 

administrative finality.41
