5 Work Incentives Related to Your Indiana Social Security Disability Case

A trial work period is one way to test a claimant's ability to work while disabled. If you have concerns about this, you may need to speak with a Social Security disability lawyer.

Here are 5 work incentives that may be available while you receive Social Security disability: 

• IRWE (Impairment Related Work Expenses) - impairment-related expenses are deducted, such as a wheelchair, work-related equipment or certain transportation costs;
• Subsidies & Special Conditions - support that causes you to receive higher earnings than the actual value of the services you perform are deducted from your earnings if working at the SGA level;
• Unincurred Business Expense - if self-employed business support is provided at no cost to the claimant, these are deducted from net earnings;
• Unsuccessful Work Attempt - effort is made to work, but it either stopped or produced earnings that are below SGA after 6 months or less due to the claimant's disabling condition or special services/assistance required for work is eliminated; and
• Section 301 Payments (Continued Payment under a Vocational Rehabilitation Program) - when no longer disabled, monthly payments may continue if participating in an approved VR program that will lead to the claimant becoming self-supporting. 

If you are required to engage in a trial work period during the time you receive disability benefits, you may need the help of an attorney in Indiana. Indianapolis attorneys who handle Social Security disability claims are best. An attorney can explain what your rights are during this time.
