How much will I receive from SSDI in Oklahoma? In Oklahoma, the amount you receive from Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) varies based on your past earnings and work history. The average monthly benefit often falls between $1,200 and $1,800, but your specific payment depends on several factors. These include the amount you paid into Social Security during your working years and the date your disability began. Payments are calculated to replace a portion of your income, making the benefit amount unique to your earnings record.
