Derek1987 Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 I'm not sure if I'll be on SSDI with my current conditions or not. But my wife was approved for SSDI this November. She has ankalosking spondylitis, fibromyalgia, arthritis, had to have hip replacements and other problems. My question is, can benefits increase or decrease by the state or city you live in? Or will it be the same no matter where you live? I wasn't sure if I should have posted this in here or not but it kind of relates because I might be next.

Clb75 Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 Typically your benefit amount is based on your earnings while you were working. Also, your benefits may be taxed if your household earns over a certain amount. You can withhold a certain amount each month or pay the amount when you file. You can load onto SSA and create an online account, from there you can see what your retirement and disability amounts would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lieze Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Agree with the previous comment. The amount you get will be based on your income the past few years is my understanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
