The Average Social Security Disability Check is $1,100.00
According to the attached article, the average retiree receives around $1,500 a month in Social Security Retirement benefits; the average disabled worker receives just over $1,100.
Our clients who are seeking disability benefits aren’t doing so in order to sit back and live the good life. Living on $1,100 a month is nearly impossible. The biggest benefit many of our disability clients receive is Medicare-so they can receive the medical care they need and hopefully get to the point where they can return to work.
According to the Social Security Administration, the average 20-year-old worker has a greater than one-in-four chance of being disabled by sickness or an injury before age 67.
People do not choose their genes, and they generally do not try to severely injure themselves in order to collect an average of $1,100 a month in disability benefits. Suffering with a disability and being unable to currently work is not illegal, and we should stop making those who suffer feel as though they are doing something wrong.
