Note to table: In later 12-month progress review periods, the work and earnings requirements are the same as in
the third 12-month progress review period.
\1\ In counting the 24 months which make up the initial 24-month period that begins after you assign your
ticket, we do not count any months during which your ticket was unassigned or was not in use (see Sec.
411.180(b)(1)). In counting the 12 months which make up any subsequent 12-month progress revieww period, we do
not count any months during which your ticket was unassigned (see Sec. 411.180(b)(2)).
\2\ If you worked in one or more months during the initial 24-month period at the level of work applicable to
the work requirement for the first 12-month progress review period, each such month of work may be used to
reduce by one month the number of months of work required for the first 12-month progress review period (see
Sec. 411.180(c)(2)).
\3\ For an explanation of how we determine if you meet this requirement if you are in a trial work period or if
you are blind, see Sec. 411.185(a)(1) or (c)(1).
