What is the maximum SSDI for a couple in New Mexico? In New Mexico, the maximum monthly SSDI benefit for a couple depends largely on the primary beneficiary's earnings record. Typically, this maximum benefit can go up to around $3,500 per month, but exact amounts vary based on individual circumstances.

Couples should check their current statements or contact SSA directly for the most accurate and personalized information.
