Retirees, survivors, and Americans with Disability Insurance are eligible to receive RSDI benefits. Only qualified workers are entitled to receive these monthly benefits from Social Security.
If they fulfill the Administration’s requirements, a spouse or child may occasionally be eligible for these direct deposits or checks, and it will be recorded on a worker’s record.
Even if your partner has no prior work experience, this is still feasible. Remember that you must have filed and been approved by the Administration in order to get your first RSDI payment.
For instance, you must have accrued at least 40 labor credits over roughly ten years of employment in order to be eligible for retirement benefits.
A worker can only receive four work credits annually, and in order to receive one, they must have $1,810 in covered wages, up from $1,730 in 2024.

SSA-sent RSDI payment amounts
Your monthly RSDI payment will be determined by a number of factors, including your age at which you filed for benefits and your wages during your employment.
For example, your monthly payments will be lower if you worked for only ten years.
To be eligible for a higher payout, one must have worked for at least 35 years. For RSDI participants, the average monthly payout is $1,839.83. This is the average payout for February that was disclosed in March.
The average premium for survivors and old-age insurance is somewhat higher. It is around $1,894. The estimated amount of retirement benefits is $1,931.20.
On average, retired workers receive $1,980. On average, a child can receive $919 and a spouse can receive $932. The average benefits for Disability Insurance recipients and survivors are $1,580 and $1,547, respectively.
As a result, their average wage is significantly lower. If they fulfill all the standards, spouses and children of employees with disabilities may also be eligible for SSDI benefits.
