Hi Rose,
Your eligibility would only be from the time you filed, and if you had re-filed, then only the time you had re-filed may be considered for back pay eligibility.

Hi Rose,
They generally send a letter with a decision on your application, if you've moved in the last few years they may not have updated your information.

Hi Rose,
If your DOD (disability onset date) is from 2012, then yes, you could be entitled to up to four years of back payments.

Can I use my daughters lump sum money to pay back rent and bills
In reply to Can I use my daughters lump by Ora wolf (not verified)
Hi Ora,
Most likely, no. You could potentially use her monthly payments on those, but back pay is ONLY to be used on items for the child, such as paying for her doctor's appointments or modifying your home to make it more "disability-friendly."

Due for my 3rd lu o sum in sept. When they give me that payment will my monthly checks stop until it is spent within the 9 months?

Hi Kat,
Your benefits would be affected if your back pay puts you over the income and resource limits for SSI.

So if they stop my monthly ssi checks when i get my 3rd lump sum payment, why do they say that you get 9months to spend it before it effects you

Hi Kat,
They may have stopped your checks for other eligibility reasons, but it may be that you did not meet the financial eligibility limit. Those lump sums become a financial resources after nine months.

Hi there,
If you have been denied for SSI for your child, it may be a good idea to speak with a disability advocate or attorney, as they can help you through the process of appeals. If you fill out the form to the left or go here:

We can have one reach out to you.
I am the rep payee for my 57 year old brother. I supported him by paying his phone, electric, heat, home repairs, rent, etc until he got on SSI. I have all the receipts. He agreed to reimburse me when he got approved. The back payment was received on 12/28/15, for the months of August through December. Is it ok for me to be reimbursed from the back payment? We only mly have a month until it will count as a resource and make him ineligible. There are no other necessary expenses to spend it on.
