POMS Section: DI 13010.001 Work Activity and Work Incentives
Date:
The definition of disability requires that an individual be medically disabled, and unable to perform substantial gainful activity (SGA). After we find that a beneficiary is disabled, we have an obligation to periodically evaluate the impairment(s) to determine whether the disability continues or ceases. This evaluation process is a Continuing Disability Review (CDR). We periodically perform CDRs to determine if a beneficiary meets the medical definition of disability. If a beneficiary is working, we will perform a work CDR to investigate work activity and determine if he or she is able to engage in SGA.
