Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Section 405(c)(3) gives three different effects to the absence of entries of income in the Secretary’s records: (1) within 3 years, 3 months, and 15 days after expiration of the qualifying year (§ 405(c)(1)(A), (B)) the absence of entries of either wages or self-employment income is evidence that no such wages or earnings were received;2 (2) after the statutory limitation period, the absence of entry of wages in the Secretary’s records creates a rebuttable presumption that no such wages were paid3 [citations omitted]; (3) after the limitation period, the absence of entry of self-employment income in the Secretary’s records, coupled with an absence of the claimant’s tax returns showing such income, creates a conclusive presumption that no such income was received.4 Singer’s attempt to prove self-employment income was foreclosed by the conclusive presumption against him. However, he was confronted with a rebut- table, rather than a conclusive, presumption that he had not received wages during the quarters unrecorded by the Secretary.”
