Changes to Social Security are coming in 2012. Beginning in the new year, the threshold (maximum amount) a disabled, non-blind, person can make per month to qualify for Social Security Disability benefits will increase from $1,000 per month to $1,010 per month. This cap is how the Social Security Administration defines Substantial Gainful Activity.

One quarter of coverage is now $1,130, up from $1,120, and maximum taxable earnings have increased from $106,800 to $110,100.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) will go up from $674 per month to $698 per month,  in step with the general 3.6% cost of living increase for all benefits. This amount does not include any State Supplement.
