The average Social Security disability benefit amount for a recipient of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) in 2016 is $1,166 per month, but a beneficiary can receive either less than this or up to $2,639. These benefits are based on average lifetime earnings, not on household income or how severe the individual's disability is.
Women accounted for 56 percent of adult Social Security beneficiaries in 2005. The average age of disabled-worker beneficiaries was 51.8 in 2005. Eighty-three percent of SSI recipients received payments because of disability or blindness in 2005. The maximum earnings subject to Social Security taxes is $94,200.
