IRWE's allow for what percentage of SSI expenses to be reimbursed?

The correct answer is that IRWEs, or Impairment Related Work Expenses, allow for 100% of eligible expenses to be reimbursed when calculating Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits.

IRWEs are specific costs that are necessary for an individual to work and that are related to their disability. This can include things like transportation to and from work, specialized equipment or supplies, or services that help an individual perform their job. When calculating the amount of SSI benefits an individual is eligible to receive, these reasonable expenses can be deducted from their earned income.

As a result, the full amount of reimbursable expenses affects the individual's countable income for SSI benefits, thus enabling them to retain more of their benefits even as they engage in work activities. It is essential for individuals to document these expenses carefully to ensure they can claim the necessary deductions and maximize their financial support while they are working.
