If I am approved for Social Security disability benefits, how much will I get?
Return to FAQsTranscript:
Social Security disability is a pay-in system, so if you are approved for social security disability, it’ll be based upon a percentage of your earnings over the 10 to 15 years prior to the time that you’re approved. You’ll received approximately 80% of your earnings and that’ll be based entirely on how much money you made in the past.
