There are many different types of Social Security benefits in the United States. The SSDI disability check is just one of many, as there are also widow’s, widower’s, age and orphan’s pensions, among many others.
Getting each of these retirements has its requirements, and getting Benefit Disability (SSDI) is no different. So if you are thinking about getting one of these benefits in the future, you may want to know in which state it is easiest to get them.
However, this does not mean that just because you live in one of these states, you will immediately get a Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) check. As we have mentioned, this benefit has its requirements, so if we do not meet them we will never be able to get the payment no matter what state we live in.
Likewise, it is sometimes possible to qualify for another kind of check instead of SSDI, so you may want to look at the requirements for all benefits in general before you apply for a Social Security payment.
IN WHICH STATES IS IT EASIEST TO GET DISABILITY BENEFIT SSDI?
Below we are going to look at the 5 states where it is easiest to get a Disability Benefit payment. However, as we have already mentioned, this does not mean that we can get it immediately after applying for it.
Each Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) check has its waiting time, as well as requirements. If we want to get one of these payments and we live in one of these states we may have a better chance of getting it, according to the statistics, but it doesn’t have to be that way.
These are the states in particular:
- Oklahoma. Almost 64% of applications are approved in this state. 63.41% to be more exact.
- Hawaii. Of all SSDI applications in this state, 64.83% are approved.
- North Carolina. 65.45% of these requested checks have approval.
- Oregon. The State of Oregon accepts 66.06% of all benefits that SSDI citizens apply for.
- Puerto Rico. While certainly not a state, 66.91% of disability applications from Puerto Rico are approved.
If you live in one of these states you may want to know this information, as it could help you get your monthly Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) payment. However, remember that if you don’t qualify, it doesn’t matter which state you live in.
WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY BENEFITS?
Each category of Social Security has a maximum monthly amount. The Social Security Disability benefit has the same maximum amount as the Full Retirement Age benefit at age 67.
Thus, in the year 2023 we have a maximum check of $3,627 per month. Still, not all citizens can reach this higher figure. But if we have the possibility to do so we will never be able to collect more than that amount.
Starting next year 2024 we will be looking at a higher check. Exactly the SSDI payments will increase by 3.2%, like all other payments. Thus, the maximum check will be around $3,743 per month.
