Title: OASDI, and SSI for the Aged, Blind and Disabled; Substantial Gainful Activity Amounts; "Services" for Trial Work Period Purposes--Monthly Amounts; Student-Earned Income Exclusion (777F) | |
Abstract: These final regulations will automatically increase the average monthly earnings guide used to determine whether work done by persons with impairments other than blindness is substantial gainful activity (SGA). As of July 1999, average monthly earnings above $700 are considered SGA. These final regulations increase the minimum monthly amount of earnings that demonstrate that a person is performing services during a trial work period, and automatically increase the amount each subsequent year. Additionally, these final regulations update the amount of the student-earned-income exclusion (SEIE) and adjust the SEIE for inflation annually, using the consumer price index. | |

Statement of Need: This regulation fulfills SSA's promise to the public that was provided in conjunction with the regulation that increased the SGA level effective July 1999, that SSA would consider adopting appropriate changes to SGA in the future. Additionally, this regulation should encourage SSA beneficiaries with disabilities to return to work; a major initiative of the Agency. |

Anticipated Costs and Benefits: This regulation has been determined to have a negligible cost for the Agency. The public will be able to enjoy the benefits of having the various items addressed in the regulation: the monthly SGA amount; the amount of the TWP service month; and the SEIE automatically increased each year, if appropriate, rather than waiting for SSA to take steps to increase these items. |
