Q. How much will I receive in SS disability every month?

A. The amount of monthly SS checks will depend on what type of program you are entitled to. If you are a SSI program recipient, the amount will be based on the financial need you have. If you are a SSD 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 SS office and receive an annual report detailing your account information, including an estimate of your monthly disability benefits.
