What is an extended period of eligibility ? How to prove you are disabled and win disability benefits
An extended period of eligibility (EPE) is a thirty-six month period in which your disability benefits may be restarted at anytime, without the need for a new disability determination (An EPE obviously applies to an individual who previously received disability benefits and then returned to work).
To have your disability benefits restarted, you must have stopped engaging in substantially gainful work activity and you must continue to have disabling medical impairments.
Additionally, unsuccessful work attempts may be considered regarding the performance of substantially gainful work activity during the thirty-six month period. This benefits the disabled individual, because any month included in an unsuccessful work attempt will not be held against an individual’s disability entitlement for those months.
If you are still eligible to receive disability in the thirty-seventh month, you will continue to receive disability benefits until you work a month over the SGA amount or you medically recover.
