What is the maximum SSDI for a couple in Wyoming? In Wyoming, the maximum Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefit for a couple depends on the combined earnings record of the spouses. SSDI provides monthly payments based on your work history and contributions to Social Security taxes. Typically, a couple's maximum SSDI amount is higher than an individual’s since benefits can be combined under certain eligibility rules. The exact maximum SSDI benefit for a couple will vary depending on prior earnings but generally follows the federal guidelines for benefit limits.

Factors Affecting Maximum Benefits
Your SSDI payouts may differ depending on:
