When I initially met with my attorney, I was told that back pay would go back one year from application, minus 5 months (I had already waited over 2 years to file because I was told I would have "full recovery" after my 2 fusion surgeries). I've received my acceptance letter but not my back pay yet, and during my search for more info on the process I came across a SSDI page stating that even if it takes 24 months for your claim to get approved, you can only receive pay for 12 months. Can anybody help clarify this for me please? Also, I have friends who received their back pay before or immediately after their approval letters (NY), but I've seen posts by people saying it took several months so I was wondering if there was a formula for when I can expect mine? I'm not looking to go on a spending spree, but I have a mortgage, car payment, property and school taxes, and children to feed and clothe as well as one in an expensive college. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and all input is appreciated.
How long and in what increments does ssdi pay back all back pay.

Hi Jeff,
You usually get backpay within 90 days after approval. For SSDI, you should get backpay one lump-sum payment.

Eric,
What if the backpay is large? Like over $60,000? Still lump sum?

Hi Margie,
That seems like a lot for one lump some. For that unique situation, I would ask a SSA representative.

Hi Johnny,
Back pay is not awarded until your claim has been approved.
I was approved at my hearing on April 4, 2018. When should I expect to hear from the Social Security Office about monthly payments or back pay. I know they have to tell everyone 90 days. I've heard nothing yet and it's been 3 weeks. Anxious !!!

Hi Kerri,
When a decision has been made, you should receive a letter stating if you were approved or denied.

It means they made a decision regarding your case and they are in the process of finalizing the decision. You should be hearing something in the near future.

Hi Kenneth,
It's possible, but you may want to double check with the SSA first regarding that.
