If you suffer from a disability, either physical or mental, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits. SSDI is a federal insurance program managed by the Social Security Administration (SSA) that is designed to provide monthly benefits to individuals who have a medically determinable disability that restricts their ability to work. Many individuals rely on SSDI to meet their basic needs. In this article, we discuss how much you can get paid from SSDI.
How Much Does SSDI Pay in Michigan?
The monthly amount you can receive from SSDI in Michigan depends on several factors. As of 2024, the maximum amount an eligible individual can receive for SSDI is $3,822 per month. In addition, the average monthly SSDI payment is $1,776. However, to determine the amount of SSDI you may be eligible for, you should contact an experienced SSDI attorney.
How is SSDI Calculated?
The SSA uses a formula to calculate an eligible individual’s monthly SSDI payments. The amount of money that a person has paid into Social Security taxes during his or her working years determines how much he or she can receive in SSDI benefits.
First, the SSA calculates an individual’s Average Indexed Monthly Earnings (AIME) from his or her highest-earning years. This number is then adjusted for inflation. The SSA then uses the applicant’s AIME to determine his or her Primary Insurance Amount (PIA), which is separated into three segments.
