What are the income limits for disability benefits?

The income limits for disability benefits can vary based on the type of benefits you're applying for. Are you asking about Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI)?

I'm specifically interested in SSI.

For SSI, the income limit is generally set at the federal benefit rate, which is adjusted annually. In 2023, the limit is $914 per month for individuals and $1,371 for couples. However, some income may not count towards this limit.

What types of income are excluded from this limit?

Certain types of income, like the first $20 of most income received in a month, and some other exclusions like food stamps or housing assistance, do not count towards the SSI income limit.

How can I apply for SSI benefits?

You can apply for SSI benefits online through the Social Security Administration's website, by phone, or in person at your local Social Security office.
