How much will I receive from SSDI in Arkansas? The amount you receive from Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) in Arkansas depends primarily on your earning history and the calculation made by the Social Security Administration (SSA). On average, Arkansas SSDI beneficiaries receive monthly payments that reflect their past contributions to Social Security through payroll taxes. Your monthly benefit is based on your average lifetime earnings, adjusted for inflation, which determines your primary insurance amount (PIA). Generally, benefits can range anywhere from a few hundred dollars to over a thousand per month, depending on your work history.
