    Linda HALVORSON, on behalf of Mark Halvorson, Appellant, v. Larry G. MASSANARI, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, Appellee.
    No. 00-3692.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted June 7, 2001.
    Decided June 12, 2001.
    
      Before HANSEN, MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, and BYE, Circuit Judges.
    
      
      . Larry G. Massanari has been appointed to serve as Acting Commissioner of Social Security, and is substituted as appellee pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 43(c)(2).
    
   PER CURIAM.

On behalf of her late husband Mark, Linda Halvorson appeals the district court’s decision affirming the Commissioner’s denial of disability insurance benefits. We review that decision to determine whether it is supported by substantial evidence on the record as a whole, including the new evidence submitted to the Appeals Council. See Cunningham v. Apfel, 222 F.3d 496, 500 (8th Cir.2000).

Having carefully reviewed the record, we conclude that the administrative law judge (ALJ) properly determined Mark’s residual functional capacity, see Anderson v. Shalala, 51 F.3d 777, 779 (8th Cir.1995); and properly evaluated his credibility, see Haggard v. Apfel, 175 F.3d 591, 594 (8th Cir.1999) (decision of ALJ who considers, but for good cause expressly discredits, claimant’s subjective complaints will not be disturbed). Further, we do not believe that the evidence concerning Mark’s demise was material to determining whether he was disabled before his insured status expired. See Bergmann v. Apfel, 207 F.3d 1065, 1069 (8th Cir.2000) (material evidence is evidence relating to claimant’s condition for time period for which benefits were denied).

Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. 
      
      . The Honorable Rodney S. Webb, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the District of North Dakota, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable Karen K. Klein, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of North Dakota.
