According to the Utah Department of Public health, there are nearly 1 out of 5 Utah residents that live with a disability. Utah beneficiaries receive $426 million in benefits each year.
If you have a disability that will force you to be out of work for at least 12 months, then you could qualify for Social Security disability benefits. When you are approved for Social Security disability benefits, that money can be used to cover expenses related to your treatments, such as prescribed medicine you take for it, as well as basic day-to-day needs.
Below are charts for the maximum monthly amounts for both Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) then you may be entitled to.
