How Much Money Does SSDI Pay Per Month?
How Much Does SSDI Pay Every Month?
If you are approved for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) Benefits, how much you are entitled to will depend on a number of factors including your “PIA” or Primary Insurance Amount.
Those claimants with very high past earnings can receive the maximum monthly PIA, which is $3,345 (as of September 2024). Most claimants, however, will receive a lower amount based on their past earnings, with the average PIA being $1358 (again, as of January, 2022).
Depending on the circumstances of your claim, you may also be eligible for “back pay” and/or “retroactive benefits.”
