Not everyone will receive the same amount in Disability Benefits. The amount of money that a person can receive from Disability benefits is dependent on their work history and how much they have paid in FICA taxes over their lifetime.
How much disability will I receive monthly in 2023
If you have a long history with significant pay your benefit will be much higher than someone who has worked for a shorter amount of time and earned less money.
For 2023 a Disability Benefit can be as high as $3600 per month. That amount generally increases each year due to a cost of living increase.
If you have a benefit amount under $900 per month or you have no entitlement to Social Security Disability benefits, there is a program that will provide financial assistance to bring the minimum benefit up to $900 per month. It is called Supplemental Security Income and is for individuals with limited assets or income. You can check the amount of your possible monthly benefit (and your projected retirement benefits) by making an account at ssa.gov.
