An IRWE is any out-of-pocket expense that is related to your disability, needed for employment and not reimbursed by another source. If approved by Social Security, the cost of these items can be deducted from your wages to calculate your SSI payment. Lists of approved IRWE deductions can be found in the SSA Red Book or at SSI Spotlight on Impairment-Related Work Expenses
