Q. How Much Will I Receive in Social Security Disability Benefits Every Month?

A. The amount of monthly Social Security benefit checks you receive will depend on what type of program you are entitled to. If you are a Supplemental Security Income program recipient, the amount will be based on the financial need you have. If you are a Social Security Disability program recipient, the amount will be based on an analysis of the taxes you paid into the system before you became disabled. You can call the Social Security Administration and receive an annual report detailing your account information, including an estimate of your monthly disability benefits.
