Understanding the exact disability benefit amounts available in New Mexico can help you plan your finances and ensure you’re receiving the benefits you deserve. Disability benefits in New Mexico are primarily provided through two federal programs: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). While New Mexico does not have its own separate disability benefit program, residents can access various state support services in combination with federal benefits.
Find out if you qualify for SSDI benefits. Pre-qualify in 60 seconds for up to $4,018 per month and 12 months back pay.
Please answer a few questions to help us determine your eligibility.
Types of Disability Benefits in New Mexico
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)
SSDI is designed for individuals who have a qualifying work history and have paid into the Social Security system.
- Average Monthly SSDI Benefit (2025): Approximately $1,537.
- Maximum Monthly SSDI Benefit (2025): Up to $3,822, depending on your lifetime earnings record.
- Family Benefits: Certain family members may also qualify for additional benefits, potentially increasing the total family benefit to 150%–180% of your SSDI amount.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
SSI is available to disabled individuals with limited income and resources, regardless of work history.
- Maximum SSI Benefit for Individuals (2025): $967 per month.
- Maximum SSI Benefit for Couples (2025): $1,450 per month.
Note: Both SSDI and SSI benefits are adjusted annually for cost-of-living increases.
Other Support Programs in New Mexico
Although there’s no state-run disability benefit, New Mexico residents may also qualify for programs such as:
