Extended Period Of Eligibility

Social Security's Extended Period of Eligibility takes place once a person has completed their trial work period. It is a work incentive program that lasts for 36 months. During this time period, it is possible to receive Social Security benefits as well as work and draw a salary. You are eligible for the entire 36 consecutive months. However, you do not receive any benefits for the months that you did not earn the amount of the SGA, or Substantial Gainful Activity. The person who takes advantage of the Extended Period of Eligibility has to keep up with the amount of money earned, and send this information to the nearest Social Security office on a monthly basis. Social Security will figure out what your gross earnings are, and whether or not they are more than the SGA. During the months when you cannot work, or when the amount you earn is less than the SGA, you will receive Social Security benefits as usual.

Fast Facts

  • If a person is able to earn more than the Substantial Gainful Activity amount month after month, Social Security will stop his or her benefit payments.
  • Medicare is also available for medical needs during the Extended Period of Eligibility.
