My wife gets about $20,000/year in disability payments (US).
I have no idea how it’s calculated. I’m assuming it would be much more if she wasn’t married to me.
If it’s ssdi I know it’s calculated by the average yearly income prior to disability. I made ~$28k/year before applying for ssdi 10 years ago, and I get about half that from ssdi now (after col raises)
Yeah. My wife had her own optometry practice. Unfortunately her income was not what most of her patients and employees thought it was. In her last full year of working full time her total salary for the year was $6000.
