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.
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.
