            Until you reach full retirement age (FRA), your work activity and earnings will be evaluated to see if you are able to do "regular work." Also, work performed after your disability annuity begins may indicate "medical recovery," regardless of the amount of your earnings. If this happens, you will be asked for additional information about your medical condition and the RRB may request that you submit new medical evidence and/or undergo a medical examination(s).
 
During the course of entitlement to the disability annuity, from the annuity beginning date through the month before FRA is attained, the RRB may conduct formal continuing disability reviews (CDR) to determine if you have recovered from your disability. This is necessary to see if your disability annuity, period of disability (disability freeze), or early Medicare coverage should continue.
 
The RRB will send you a Form G-254, *Continuing Disability Report*, with instructions on how to complete the form, obtain recent medical evidence, and return the G-254 and other documents to the RRB.
 
If the RRB confirms recovery from disability after conducting a CDR, the disability is terminated. At the time of termination, you may be eligible for a railroad retirement annuity based on age and service. Contact your local RRB office for more information by calling toll-free (877) 772-5772.
