What Our Clients Say
Disclaimer: Testimonials found on this website are actual client reviews of Collins Price, PLLC edited only for length. Because the success of any legal matter depends on the unique circumstances of each case: we cannot guarantee particular results for future clients based on successes we have achieved in past legal matters.
How Much Money Do You Get On Disability?
The amount of money disability claimants receive depends on which Social Security program they qualify for. The Federal Social Security Disability Insurance Program (SSDI) pays benefits based on your average lifetime earnings. The Federal Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program pays benefits based on the SSI Federal benefit rate less any countable income you may have.
The AIME determines your monthly payment. Generally speaking, the more you have in qualified earnings, the more your benefit will be. The max monthly payment for SSDI in 2021 is $3,148.
Maximum Federal Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment amounts increase with the cost-of-living increases that apply to Social Security benefits. The latest such increase, 1.3 percent, became effective January 2021.
For 2021, the maximum benefit is $794 monthly for individuals, and $1,191 for eligible couples.

Do I Qualify for Disability?
In our practice as High Point Disability Lawyers, we are often asked: “Do I qualify for disability?” We have answered that question before on our blog, but it’s always good to revisit Social Security’s definition of a disability:
“The definition of disability under Social Security is different than other programs. Social Security pays only for total disability. There are no payments for partial disability or for short-term disability.
The Social Security Administration considers you disabled under Social Security rules if:
- You cannot do work that you did before;
- They decide that you cannot adjust to other work because of your medical condition(s); and
- Your disability has lasted or is expected to last for at least one year or to result in death.
This is a strict definition of disability. Social Security program rules assume that working families have access to other resources to provide support during periods of short-term disabilities, including workers’ compensation, insurance, savings, and investments.”
While this definition is clear, there are many reasons you may or may not qualify for disability. It’s important to work with a professional to avoid mistakes and missed deadlines. If you have a severe physical or mental condition preventing you from working for 12 months or more, contact us today. Let us assess your situation. We will help you apply for any Social Security Disability Insurance benefits you qualify for. There is no fee unless we win.
If you live in High Point and are either currently applying for government Social Security disability programs, or, have already applied or are appealing a denied disability claim, we may be able to help.

High Point is a city located in the Piedmont Triad region of the U.S. state of North Carolina. Most of the city is located in Guilford County, with portions extending into neighboring Randolph, Davidson, and Forsyth counties. High Point is North Carolina’s only city that extends into four counties.
High Point was located at the highest point of the 1856 North Carolina railroad between Charlotte and Goldsboro where it intersected the 1852 Great Western Plank Road. Its central location and transportation allowed for the delivery of raw materials like cotton and lumber as well as import and export of processed goods, contributing to its early growth. High Point was settled by Europeans, including English Quakers and German immigrants, before 1750, but was not incorporated until 1859. Before it became a major manufacturing center, the most important industries were tobacco, woodworking and textiles. The High Point furniture factory was opened in 1889
