Spouse BWE Amount

Enter the amount of the disability related work expenses and other work expenses that your spouse is claiming as Blind Work Expenses (BWEs).

If you can not figure the exact amount of your spouse's BWE at this time, you may estimate. To use an estimate, 1) click the estimate button; AND 2) enter your best guess in the correct box.

NOTE - Maximum Allowable Amounts:

If your spouse has no PASS: Your spouse's BWE amount can not exceed the amount of the disability-related work expense.

If your spouse has a PASS: The sum of amounts for your spouse's PASS, IRWE, and/or BWE can not exceed the sum of amounts for your spouse's employability investments and work expenses (both disability-related and others).

If you are excluding your spouse's income under the Student Earned Income Exclusion (SEIE), the amount can not exceed the amount of earned income that is not excluded, if any. This is not an SSA rule, but rather is a WorkWORLD requirement because of the way in which WorkWORLD calculates SEIE. Your spouse's actual BWE may be larger but it will not result in a higher SSI cash benefit.
