§404.417 Deductions because of noncovered remunerative activity outside the United States; 45 hour and 7-day work test.

(a) Deductions because of individual’s activity— (1) Prior to May 1983. For months prior to May 1983, a 7-day work test applies in a month before benefit deductions are made for noncovered remunerative activity outside the United States. A deduction is made from any monthly benefit (except disability insurance benefits, child’s insurance benefits based on the child’s disability, or widow’s or widower’s insurance benefits based on the widow’s or widower’s disability) payable to an individual for each month in a taxable year beginning after December 1954 in which the beneficiary, while under age 72 (age 70 after December 1982), engages in noncovered remunerative activity (see §404.418) outside the United States on 7 or more different calendar days. The deduction is for an amount equal to the benefit payable to the individual for that month.
