Calculating Social Security Disability Back Pay

Posted by Christopherle on February 25th, 2021

SSI or SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME

If a claimant has been approved for SSI, the monthly amount depends on household income and assets. Social Security takes into account earned and unearned income, mortgage or rent payments, and other income amounts in the same household. The monthly maximum federal amounts for 2020 are 3 for an eligible individual, ,175 for an eligible individual with an eligible spouse. The average individual disability claim lasts 31.6 months. In many states, if you’re found eligible for SSI, you’ll also be eligible for Medicaid and sometimes Section 8 housing benefits. If there are dependent children under the age of 18 they are also entitled to social security disability benefits, as well as any children 18 and older who still attend high school. If you are the surviving spouse of a worker who qualified for Social Security retirement or disability benefits, you and your minor or disabled children may also be entitled to benefits based on your deceased spouse’s earnings record.

SSDI or SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY INSURANCE

If a person is awarded SSDI benefits, the monthly amount they receive is adjusted proportionally to the income they were earning when they were working. If a claimant has been approved for SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance AKA Title II), the aveage monthly amount is approximately 58 fro 2020. Your spouse may receive social security disability benefits based on your work if they are caring for a child of yours who is younger than age 16 or disabled. The most a family can receive of SSI and disability combined is currently above 00.
