		<description>I have a question about the Work Trial Period&#039;s allowable wages..  &lt;br&gt;The amount an individual may earn seems to be inconsistent with the updated rules effective January 1, 2001 for seniors 55 years of age or older.  As I recall the updated rules were contained in a package of regulations announced by President Clinton as part of the 10th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.  One of those updated rules that took effect January 1, 2001, increased the Work Trial Period Substantial Gainful Activity levels (beginning with raising the 2001 SGA to $740 a month) connecting the SGA increases in the national average wage index.  Am I mistaken that the updated rules for Work Trial Period SGA levels for disabled (non-blind) individuals 55 years and older are:  2004 =  $810       2005 =  $830       2006 =  $860    2007 =  $900 &lt;br&gt;2008 =  $940       2009  = $980       2010  = $1,000 (est.) ?</description>
