## Abstract

We published in the Federal Register on April 18, 2024, a final rule to revise the time period we consider when determining whether an individual's past work is relevant for the purposes of making disability determinations and decisions under our rules. The preamble of that final rule cited an effective date of June 8, 2024. This rulemaking defers that effective date to June 22, 2024.
