If you have depression that interferes with your ability to work, then you may be eligible for Social Security disability benefits, like SSDI and SSI.

Your SSDI monthly benefit will be based on your average covered earnings over a period of time, which is referred to as your average indexed monthly earnings (AIME). The SSA uses these amounts in a formula to determine your primary insurance amount (PIA). This is the basic amount used to establish your benefit. SSDI payments range on average between $800 and $1,800 per month.
