Monthly SSDI Benefits. In contrast, the monthly benefit for a Social Security disability recipient depends on prior earnings: how much and how long you worked and paid into the Social Security system. The most you can receive in 2016 is $2,639, but the average monthly payment is $1,666. Unlike SSI, the SSA won't count any income against you to lower your SSDI benefit. The only reduction that may be taken from your SSDI benefit is for workers' comp benefits or temporary state disability benefits. (VA benefits will not reduce your SSDI benefit.) Also, your state won't add extra money to your benefit.
