Are SSA work incentives available that may help an individual to meet the disability/SGA eligibility requirements?
Yes, in some instances an individual may be working and earning over $700 a month and still meet the disability test by taking advantage of two work incentives known as the Impairment Related Work Expense (IRWE) and Subsidy. The dollar amount of IRWEs and subsidies are subtracted from a person’s gross monthly earnings before the SGA determination is made. If the dollar amount of the IRWE or subsidy is significant enough to reduce their gross monthly earnings below $700, they will be determined to meet the SGA requirement of the disability test.
