How much might an individual be granted if approved for Social Security disability benefits?
The amount awarded depends on how much the individual has worked and earned in the past. In the case of a disabled widow or widower, it depends on how much the deceased spouse has worked and earned. For disabled adult children, it depends on how much the parent worked and earned. For Supplemental Security Income claims, there is a base amount that an individual of limited income and resource can receive. Supplemental Security Income is reduced by the amount of other income an individual receives.
