Regardless if your looking for a reliable way to supplement your disability income or already have one, its important to understand how impairment related work expenses (IRWE) work so you can squeeze every last red cent out of your effort…

Impairment related work expenses minimize your taxes and maximize your Sustained Gainful Income amount because they offset money you earn with expenses needed to generate income.

Examples of IRWE; wheel chair, medical supplies, special computer monitor, care services, medical devices, equipment, prostheses, and similar items and services may be deducted.

Even the costs of routine drugs and all natural treatment options are deductible if they are necessary to control the disabling condition so as to enable the individual to work.

SSI recipients can even get cold hard cash, yup that right, you can get up to 50% of these out of pocket expenses in cash by having your SSI check increased all the way up to its maximum amount.

The exact amount your SSI check will increase depends on your living situation, earned and unearned income, and the amount of your IRWE.

This is one of those SSA secrets that levels the playing field for disabled workers.

To make sure you deduct all your out–of–pocket costs properly I encourage you to consult a tax professional.
