<td><p><b><a name="blind">SGA for the Blind</a></b>—applies to Social
|
|
Security benefits, but does <i>not</i> apply to Supplemental Security Income
|
|
(SSI) benefits<p>The formula for determining the SGA amount for the blind is
|
|
set by law and is applicable only if a <a href="latestCOLA.html">cost-of-living
|
|
increase</a> becomes effective for December of the year in which a determination
|
|
of the SGA amount would ordinarily be made. Because there is a cost-of-living increase for December 2024,
|
|
the formula can be applied.</p>
|
|
<p>According to the formula, the monthly SGA amount for statutorily blind
|
|
individuals for 2025 is such SGA amount for 1994 multiplied by the ratio of the
|
|
national average wage index for 2023 to that for 1992, or, <i>if larger</i>,
|
|
such SGA amount for 2024 ($2,590). If the amount so calculated is
|
|
not a multiple of $10, we round it to the nearest multiple of $10.</p>

<p><b><a name="nonblind">SGA for the Non-Blind Disabled</a></b>—applies to
|
|
Social Security and SSI benefits<p>The method used to adjust the SGA for non-blind
|
|
individuals is similar to that used for blind individuals and was published in the
|
|
<a href="https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/search#advanced"><i>Federal Register</i></a>
|
|
(FR 65 82905) on December 29, 2000. The monthly SGA amount for non-blind disabled
|
|
individuals for 2025 is such SGA amount for 2000 multiplied by the ratio of the
|
|
national average wage index for 2023 to that for 1998, or, <i>if larger</i> such
|
|
SGA amount for 2024 ($1,550). If the amount so calculated is
|
|
not a multiple of $10, we round it to the nearest multiple of $10.</p>
