What is the maximum SSDI for a couple in Florida? In Florida, the maximum Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefit for a couple is determined by the combined individual benefits. Typically, a couple can receive up to about $3,011 per month depending on their work history and earnings record. The actual amount varies based on each spouse's disability benefit and any auxiliary or dependent benefits applicable. It's important to understand that the total can differ widely, but $3,011 serves as an approximate ceiling for most couples.
