The table below explains how the Title II disregard is calculated and treated:

If…	Then…
Both payment amounts are credited under claim numbers with: “D” or “W” as the 10th digit; and “A” as the 10th digit	The full Title II amount is disregarded under the “D” or “W” claim number.
One payment amount is credited under a claim number with “D” or “W” as the 10th digit; and No other Title II claim
One payment is credited and the other is non-credited under claim numbers with: “D” or “W” as the 10th digit; and “A” as the 10th digit	The Title II amount under the “D” or “W” claim number is subtracted from the amount under the “A” claim number.
