Our experienced Social Security Disability lawyers in Southern California are here to provide legal support and guidance to help you secure the benefits you deserve.
What is Social Security Disability Insurance?
Social Security Disability Insurance is a federal program designed to provide financial assistance and medical insurance to individuals who have a disability that prevents them from working. To qualify for SSDI benefits, you must have a medical impairment or combination of medical impairments that prevent you from working for at least one year or will result in death, and you must have worked at a job or jobs where Social Security taxes were paid and have enough work credits to be insured for SSDI benefits. If you qualify, you will receive a monthly benefit payment. Plus, after 2 years of eligibility for SSDI benefits, you will qualify for Medicare.

Benefits Available Through SSDI and SSI
The benefits that you can get depend on the type of disability benefit you are applying for. If you are applying for Disability Insurance (SSDI) then the amount of your monthly benefit payment will be calculated based on your “average indexed monthly earnings.” In other words, the amount of your monthly SSDI payment is calculated based on your Social Security taxed work earnings and can vary widely. The maximum SSDI benefit is the same as the maximum Social Security retirement benefit, which was set at $3627 in 2023. Realistically, most SSDI benefit rates are in the range of $1,000 to $1,500 per month.
If you are applying for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, the maximum federal benefit rate for an individual is $914/month in 2023 but California supplements that so the maximum SSI benefit rate for an individual is $1133.73/month. However, if you are living in the household of someone else and not paying rent, the maximum SSI benefit rate in California is $833.89/month. Also, SSI benefits are subject to offsets that will reduce the monthly rate if there are other sources of income, including in-kind income.
