SSDI Benefit Amount in Ohio

SSDI benefits are based on your work history and lifetime earnings, not your location. This means your benefit amount in Ohio is calculated using the same federal formula as in other states.

As of 2024, the average monthly SSDI benefit is about $1,537, but it can range from a few hundred dollars up to a maximum of $3,822 per month depending on your past income and how much you've paid into Social Security.

To estimate your SSDI benefit:

• Create a mySSA account at ssa.gov
• View your Social Security Statement
• Use the SSA’s benefit calculator to get a personalized estimate

SSI Benefit Amount in Ohio

SSI is designed for people with low income and limited resources. It provides a flat benefit amount, which may be supplemented by the state of Ohio.

As of 2024:

• Federal base SSI rate is $943/month for individuals and $1,415/month for couples
• Ohio provides a state supplement, which varies based on your living situation
• For example, if you live in a group care facility, your benefit may be higher than someone living independently

Ohio’s Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) administers state SSI supplements, and you may need to apply separately through them in certain cases.

Deductions and Offsets

Your benefit amount can be reduced if you:

• Receive other government benefits (e.g., workers’ compensation)
• Have earned income (in the case of SSI)
• Receive in-kind support (like free rent or food)

For SSDI, there is no income limit, but for SSI, income and resources are strictly monitored.
