If you are awarded benefits, the amount of your monthly benefits will depend on the number of years you have worked. You will receive the same monthly benefit that you would have received if you had retired at your full retirement age. (This is 65 years or older, depending on your age). You may go to the Social Security Disability website to obtain an estimate of what your monthly benefits will be by going to: https://secure.ssa.gov/appps6z/isss/main.html.
The amount of SSI benefits will depend on whether the claimant has other income. Other income sources may reduce the monthly amount of SSI. For SSI, there is a base amount that an individual with no other income receives. This amount will vary depending on when you have filed.
