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
33 See
20 CFR 416.924(d) and 416.926a.
20 CFR 416.926a(d).
35 Or, 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.
36 See 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.
37 See 20 CFR 404.1598 and 416.998.
38 See sections 216(i), 223(d), 1614(a) of the Act,
20 CFR 404.1505, 404.1509, 404.1520 and 416.905,
416.909, 416.920. See also Walton, 535 U.S. at 217–

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
