How much money can I receive from Social Security Disability?

In South Dakota, the amount of money you can receive from Social Security Disability (SSD) depends on your individual situation. Generally, the maximum monthly amount you can receive as an individual is $2,639. However, if you’re married and both you and your spouse receive SSD, your household may receive up to $3,834 a month. It’s important to remember that the amount of SSD you receive is based on your past earnings. The Social Security Administration (SSA) considers how much you earned before you became disabled, and your average earnings over the past several years. The SSA also takes into account your work history, including how recently you worked, whether or not you worked full-time, and how long you worked. They will also consider any other income you have, such as retirement benefits, investments, or other sources of income. It’s important to note that SSD benefits are not taxable, and they are not considered to be income in South Dakota. However, it is important to speak to a qualified SSD attorney to get the exact amount of benefits you are eligible for.
