A claimant initially filing for Title II benefits that is working and alleges IRWE
may benefit by a deduction of IRWE from earnings in a Substantial Gainful Activity
(SGA) determination.
See When to Develop IRWE - DI 10520.015 for the policy on when to develop and verify IRWE. If alleged IRWE would reduce earnings
below the SGA level, develop and verify following the procedures in Determining When
IRWE Are Deductible and How They Are Distributed - DI 10520.030.
