disability caps out at 185 or 195? (One of these two numbers) a week...where are you getting 1200 from?

OP is probably on SSDI. Max payout per month is $3627. Average payment is $1358/month.

I'm referring to SSDI and private disability companies in the United States. Particularly, phone calls with representatives from these companies. It may very well be different now I haven't exactly asked about it in a couple of years now. Before it was 20% of your pre-disability income per month. Since I was a software engineer, that came up to around $1200. If I google it looks like $1470 for SSDI in 2023 is your maximum earnable income in 2023. But I haven't really tried to even meet these numbers for fear of losing disability coverage by some shady for-profit disability company means.
