Disability Benefits and Help in Wyoming

SSDI and SSI in Wyoming

Social Security disability works the same in every state: SSA takes your application, and a state agency makes the medical decision. In Wyoming, that agency is the Social Security Disability Determination Services (Wyoming Department of Workforce Services). In 2026, SSI pays up to $994 a month for an individual before any state supplement, and work above $1,690 a month generally rules out disability benefits.

Does Wyoming Add to SSI?

Wyoming pays a $20.00 monthly State Supplemental Payment to Wyoming residents whose sole source of income is an SSI payment. Eligibility is determined automatically from SSA data, and payments go to the same account as the SSI payment. The state runs it through Wyoming Department of Health (WDH), separately from SSA.
