410.680—Imposition of reductions.
The imposition of reductions constitutes an initial determination with respect to each month for which a reduction is imposed. A finding that a reduction is not to be imposed is an initial determination for each month with respect to which the circumstances upon which such finding was based remain unchanged. The suspension of benefits, pending a determination as to the applicability of a reduction equivalent to the amount of a deduction because of excess earnings under section 203(b) of the Social Security Act shall not, however, constitute an initial determination (see § 410.615(a) ).
