How much will I receive from SSDI in Pennsylvania? In Pennsylvania, the amount you receive from Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) depends largely on your lifetime earnings and contribution to the Social Security system. Monthly benefits are calculated based on your average indexed monthly earnings (AIME) before your disability began. Typically, the average SSDI payment in Pennsylvania ranges around a national average but can vary widely depending on your specific earning history. Your exact monthly benefit is determined by a formula used by the SSA and is subject to annual adjustments for inflation.
