SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 18, 2024, we published the final
rule Intermediate Improvement to the Disability Adjudication Process
Including How We Consider Past Work in the Federal Register (final

consider from 15 years to 5 years when determining whether an
individual's past work is relevant for the purposes of making
disability determinations and decisions. The final rule further
clarifies that we will not consider past work that started and stopped
in fewer than 30 calendar days to be considered past relevant work
