Please answer a few questions to help us determine your eligibility.


Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) Payments

SSDI benefits are based on your work history and the amount you’ve paid into Social Security over the years.


  • The average SSDI payment in Missouri is roughly $1,300 to $1,400 per month.
  • Your exact benefit amount depends on your lifetime earnings and how much you contributed to Social Security taxes.
  • The maximum SSDI benefit can be over $4,000 per month, but most people receive less depending on their work credits.


Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Payments

SSI is a needs-based program for disabled individuals with limited income and resources.


  • The federal maximum SSI payment in Missouri is about $967 per month for individuals.
  • Missouri does not offer a state supplement to the federal SSI benefit.
  • Your actual SSI payment may be lower depending on your income, living arrangements, and other factors.


Other Missouri Disability Benefits

In addition to federal SSDI and SSI, Missouri may offer other state-specific assistance programs, but these vary and usually provide smaller payments or supplemental help.
