Work Incentives for SSDI and SSI:
IMPAIRMENT RELATED WORK EXPENSE (IRWE)
This work incentive applies to both SSI and SSDI at different times. An IRWE is an out of pocket cost
that a person must pay that 1) is related to their disability and 2) is needed in order for them to work.
The out of pocket costs reduce the income that SSA counts. Receipts must be sent into SSA monthly.
Examples of an IRWE:
• Cost of taxis or drivers needed to travel to work because your disability prevents use of public
transportation
• Modified vehicles needed because of disability, e.g. special steering/braking equipment
• Ramps, railings, or other modifications to the outside of your home that allow you to leave and
go to work
• Routine medication costs that help keep your disability related symptoms under control
