disability caps out at 185 or 195? (One of these two numbers) a week...where are you getting 1200 from?


I'm referring to SSDI and private disability companies in the United States. Particularly, phone calls with representatives from these companies. It may very well be different now I haven't exactly asked about it in a couple of years now. Before it was 20% of your pre-disability income per month. Since I was a software engineer, that came up to around $1200. If I google it looks like $1470 for SSDI in 2023 is your maximum earnable income in 2023. But I haven't really tried to even meet these numbers for fear of losing disability coverage by some shady for-profit disability company means.


OP is probably on SSDI. Max payout per month is $3627. Average payment is $1358/month.
