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.
What Is the Income Limit for SSI? The income limit for the SSI program is based on something called the federal benefit rate (FBR). The federal benefit rate represents both the SSI income limit and the maximum federal monthly SSI payment. In 2016, the FBR is $733 per month for individuals and $1,100 for couples. (The FBR increases annually if there is a Social Security cost-of-living adjustment.)
