I was talking about individual benefit, so it would seem to have gone up to about $1,000.
Benifit is always based on earnings paid into SS,
first. If that does not qualify you, SSDI kicks in. SSDI is very important for those who have never worked.The good news is that the rules and law changed some time ago, and it is easier to get off SS disibility without fear of not being able to get back on. More back to work time is allowed and it is easier to get back on disibility if work did not work out. Many, under the old system, who wanted to try work again felt trapped. Going to work ment possible loss of future benifits if they again could not work.
