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.
If they do not, their disability benefit amount will be lowered to less than the maximum amount. Note: Currently, the maximum amount that one individual may receive for SSI disability is $733 per month. Social Security disability is very different in some ways than SSI disability. Unlike SSI, the amount that a person receives from this program is not the same as every recipient.
