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.

Hi Amanda,
I really can't say for sure. You may want to talk with the SSA regarding that.

Hi Tabitha,
If you waited for more than five months to be approved then yes, but your SSI back pay will come in three separate payments while your SSDI back pay will all come at once.

Hi Dawn,
That's a hard question to ask--sometimes as quick as five months, sometimes as long as two years.
I received my award letter. My monthly ssdi benefits will begin march 2018. My case has been awarded back to December 2012. When will i receive the backpay. I also applied for benefits for my nine yr old. They told me in my local office she is elegible for 720 a month and that will also get awarded to my same back date. The worker in the office said i will get her backpay before i get mine. I am confused

Hi Lisa,
Congratulations on winning your case! I'd expect your back pay to arrive sometime in July.

Hi There,
It usually takes around four months. I would recommend calling the SSA and speaking with a rep if you don't get anything this month.

Hi there,
It usually takes about four months to get back pay, so I'd expect yours to come sometime this month.

Hi Alisa,
I'm happy to hear you were approved. You may be able to file for expedited payments due to hardship--you'll need to call the SSA to discuss this option.
my hearing was held in October 2017 and as of last week I still have no decision however i was informed this week my case has now been assigned to a writer? What does that mean and how much longer can this take to get a decision?

Hi Candy,
Hopefully your claim will be approved soon--it often takes about five months to hear back after a hearing.
