If you receive $1,100 per month in SSDI payments, you would only receive $1,300 per month from the FERS program due to the amount you are collecting from the SSA. This would still total $2,400 per month. You would just be getting a portion of that $2,400 from FERS and a portion from SSDI. After the first 12 months of your disability you will receive 40 percent of your 3-year-average high salary minus 60 percent of whatever you receive in SSDI benefits.
However, generally speaking, the following is a guideline of how long each stage of the disability process takes: 1  It typically takes 3 to 4 months from the time you apply until you receive the first decision. 2  If you file a Recon Request, it could take another 3 or 4 months to receive the Notice of Reconsideration.
