The average benefit paid to disabled workers in July 2015 was $1,165 a month or about $13,980 a year. Workers and employers pay for the DI program with part of their Social Security taxes. Workers and employers each pay a Social Security tax that is 6.2 percent of workers' earnings up to a cap of $118,500 in 2015.
Out of that amount, more than 42.5 million Social Security recipients get retirement benefits, and with the government making about $55 billion in monthly payments, that amounts to an average of $1,290 per month for every person getting Social Security benefits on a retired worker's work record.
