How much will I receive from SSDI in Oregon? In Oregon, the amount you receive from Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) depends on several factors including your lifetime earnings, the severity of your disability, and the date of your application. Typically, your SSDI benefit is calculated based on your average indexed monthly earnings (AIME) before your disability began. The Social Security Administration (SSA) sets a maximum monthly benefit that can vary each year. In Oregon, most recipients receive an average payment close to the national average, but the exact amount can differ widely.

Please answer a few questions to help us determine your eligibility.
Step 1: Understand Your Average Indexed Monthly Earnings (AIME)
Your benefit largely depends on:
- Your highest-earning years over your work history.
- Adjustments made for inflation to calculate AIME.
- More earnings typically mean higher benefits.
Step 2: Know the Primary Insurance Amount (PIA)
PIA is the base figure SSA uses to determine monthly payments:
- Derived from your AIME using a formula set by SSA.
- PIA sets your full benefit if you qualify for SSDI.
- It is recalculated annually to account for cost-of-living adjustments.
Step 3: Consider Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLA)
Your SSDI benefit may increase each year due to:
- Inflation-driven changes announced by the SSA every fall.
- These adjustments help maintain your purchasing power.
- COLA varies yearly based on economic factors.
Step 4: Review Maximum and Minimum Benefit Limits
SSA imposes limits on benefits:
- Maximum monthly SSDI benefit for 2024 is around $3,627 nationally.
- Individuals with lower lifetime earnings receive less.
- Benefits cannot be lower than the federal benefit rate if you qualify for it.
Step 5: Factor in Additional Variables
Other influences on your benefit amount include:
- Dependent family members may increase your monthly benefits.
- Your work history and Social Security taxes paid.
- State cost of living does not directly change your SSDI payment.
