Most workers in Alabama are covered by Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). But how much will it pay if you become unable to work?
Benefits are based on the individual's age and earning history. The longer you have worked and the higher your average wages have been, the higher your benefit will be.
The maximum SSDI benefit is over $2,800 per month.
However, the average SSDI payment is $1,197 per month.
How do you find out what your estimated payment would be? Call your local Social Security field office and ask the amount of your "Primary Insurance Amount" or PIA. (I know, Social Security speaks its own lingo).
Unfortunately, getting approved for SSDI can be a difficult and lengthy process. It often takes months to years. A high percentage of claimants get an attorney or representative to help get their benefits, especially after a denial.
