How much will I receive from SSDI in New Hampshire? In New Hampshire, the amount you receive from Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) depends on your average lifetime earnings before your disability began. The SSA calculates your monthly benefit based on your earnings record and applies specific formulas to determine the payment. Generally, the SSDI amount ranges between a few hundred to over a thousand dollars per month, with the maximum benefits capped by federal limits. Your final payment can also be affected by factors such as concurrent benefits or other income sources.
