How much will I receive from SSDI in Idaho? In Idaho, the amount you receive from Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) depends on your average lifetime earnings before your disability began. The Social Security Administration (SSA) calculates your benefit based on your work record, with payments designed to replace a portion of your income. Most recipients in Idaho receive monthly payments ranging from a few hundred dollars up to around $3,000 or more. Your specific benefit amount will also depend on factors like your date of eligibility and recent earnings history.
