SSDI recipients may also get large payments if they managed to meet all the requirements before their disability turned up. Unfortunately, this is not likely in most cases and average payments are frequent.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) has confirmed that the largest SSDI benefit for 2024 will be $3,822. Therefore, some may be successful in getting more than average payments.

Who can receive $3,822 from SSDI payment?
This large SSDI check or direct deposit will be for high earners who filed as late as possible. If you had a low wage for many years, you should also expect a low payment.
In this case, it is advisable that you also apply for Supplemental Security Income. By doing so, you could get up to $943 if you are single or $1,415 if married and both qualify.
So, if you are still working in the United States, make sure you earn the taxable maximum for 35 years, have jobs covered by SSA, and delay filing to get up to $3,822.
Who is eligible for ssdi in 7 days?
Regardless of your payment amount, you could receive Disability Insurance on June 12 if you meet these 2 conditions.
- you have been on SSDI benefits after April 30, 1997
- your birthday is from the first to the tenth of any month.
If the day you were born does not match the previous date, you may get a new disability insurance payment on June 18 or June 26. Not surprisingly, it is on a Tuesday because of the Federal holiday on June 19.
- birth date from the 11-20: SSDI benefits payment on June 18
- birth date from the 21-31: Social Security Disability Insurance payment on June 26
The average payment for all SSDI recipients will be about $1,395. Workers with a disability can get about $1,537 on average. Spouses could receive about $418 and children about $494. File for disability insurance as soon as possible since decisions from SSA may take longer than expected.
Who qualifies for the largest SSDI benefit in 2024?
In 2024, the maximum SSDI benefit for a disabled worker is $3,822 per month. It’s for those with high earnings before they became disabled. Benefits are based on lifetime earnings, not disability severity. The average monthly SSDI benefit for an individual is $1,537. For a disabled worker with a family, it’s $2,720.
To qualify for SSDI, one must be unable to work. In 2024, a non-blind recipient can earn up to $1,550 per month and still qualify. For the blind, the limit is $2,590. Recipients must have worked in Social Security-covered jobs and have a long-term disabling condition.
In short, the $3,822 maximum benefit is for those with high earnings. The average benefit is much lower.
