<body>
<p>This NPRM will propose to remove some of the requirements for evaluation of an unsuccessful work attempt (UWA) that lasts between 3 and 6 months.&nbsp; We also propose to allow previously entitled beneficiaries to apply for expedited reinstatement (EXR) in the same month they stop performing substantial gainful activity (SGA).&nbsp; Provisional benefits will begin the month after the request for EXR if the beneficiaries stops performing SGA in the month of the EXR request.&nbsp; These changes would simplify our policies and make them easier for the public to understand.</p>
