AMERICANS with disabilities can receive financial support through a variety of non-profit organizations and government programs, including Social Security Disability Insurance.

See how SSDI works and the maximum benefit you can receive, as well as more on an upcoming calendar quirk for a second program benefitting individuals with disabilities.

More than 70 million adults in the US, or over one in 4, report having a disability, according to the CDC.

The Social Security Disability Insurance program, or SSDI, is the biggest disability program in the country, handing out monthly payments to millions of disabled workers and their families.

Americans must meet certain requirements to qualify for SSDI benefits, including being blind or having a disability that stops or limits their ability to work for a year or more or will result in death.

Applicants must also have worked in jobs covered by Social Security long enough to earn sufficient “work credits,” which are based on a worker’s total annual wages or self-employment income.

Generally, workers need 40 credits to qualify for SSDI payments, with 20 earned in the last 10 years.

The maximum monthly payment for SSDI this year is $4,018, up from $3,822 last year thanks to the cost-of-living adjustment.

In 2024, disabled workers received an average payment of $1,537 per month from SSDI.

The average SSDI payment in 2025 is roughly $1,580 to $1,590 per month for a single disabled worker, although some Americans may receive significantly more or less than this amount.

Many individuals on SSDI receive between $1,200 and $2,000 each month.

The amount that beneficiaries receive from SSDI each month is based on their lifetime earnings rather than their current or household income.

Recipients are subject to a limit on how much they can earn from working, known as Substantial Gainful Activity, or SGA, which was $1,620 per month in 2024.

MORE MONEY

Supplemental Security Income, or SSI, is another crucial government-run disability program, offering payments to Americans with disabilities who have limited income and resources. 

Unlike SSDI, SSI is based on one’s financial need rather than their work history.

SSI benefits are available to those who are disabled, blind, or aged 65 or older and have very limited financial means. 

This can include people who have never worked or have not worked enough to qualify for SSDI, such as those disabled from a young age or stay-at-home parents.

The maximum monthly SSI benefit in 2025 is $967 for individuals – up from $943 last year thanks to COLA – and $1,450 for couples.

Those who are eligible can receive both disability and SSI benefits at the same time, which can occur if you are eligible for SSDI but your monthly benefit amount is very low.

CHECK YOUR CALENDAR

SSI benefits are generally handed out on the first day of each month.

However, if the first of the month falls on a weekend or a federal holiday, the payment is issued on the last business day before the first.

This scheduling rule often results in SSI recipients receiving their benefits for the upcoming month at the end of the current month.

For example, beneficiaries will receive two SSI payments this month and none in September thanks to a calendar quirk.

This is because Labor Day falls on September 1, 2025, resulting in September’s SSI payment being sent out on Friday, August 29, 2025.  

Americans should take note of other changes over at the SSA, including Social Security bosses backtracking after issuing an August 18 deadline for recipients of a check worth $5,108.

Plus, Social Security’s plan to “save the benefits” was announced as millions of Americans are set to see the funds run out.

He will be released by court order on Friday.

Jimmie Ward, 34, was first arrested on June 12 at his home in Magnolia, Texas.

A woman claimed Ward assaulted, strangled and threatened her.

The Houston Texans safety was booked on a felony charge of assaulting a family/house member.

An emergency protective order was filed at the woman’s request.

Ward posted $30k bond and was released.

His lawyer Steve Jackson said that Ward would be “vindicated” when the case went to a grand jury on August 31.

This week, Ward was arrested again.

His lawyer said the arrest was because he tested positive for alcohol, which was in violation of his previous release.

The legal representative added that Ward was unaware he could not drink alcohol.

The 34-year-old safety spent the night in jail as a result of the arrest.

Ward was a first round NFL Draft pick by the San Francisco 49ers in 2014.

He joined the Texans in 2023 on a two-year deal worth $13 million.

Last year, Ward added another year onto his contract to take him through the 2025 season.

The extension was worth $10.5 million.

Ward was placed on the physically unable to perform list at the start of training camp with a foot injury.

He hasn’t been activated as of yet.

The NFL was aware of Ward’s arrest in June and is in contact with the Texans.

Texans general manager Nick Caserio was asked about it on the first day of training camp.

He said, “We will work with the league. We will be compliant on our end, do the best we can.

“Whatever the outcome is, we’ll handle it accordingly.”
