I just got approved for social security, due to a disability. They said I would get back pay for 1 year.?

Question

How long does it take to get the back pay? I will get the first monthly check in August.

Answer 1

The backpay will take awhile. At least mine did; it took 6 months.

Answer 2

You called me stupid for a question I asked...its funny how you act over the computer...say it to my face *****.

Answer 3

the way you get paid

is monthly,

and what happens is they pay you for the previous month

so if you get 1 years back pay

then they will either double up your payments for last years month and this yearsd

or theyll pay you for july, in august

and you only get one check a month

if they pay you back pay

then its usually like normal pay

Answer 4

You will get either several checks at once or one check with a lump sum. Your back pay will be your first payment.

Answer 5

You would have to ask them that question. It may take awhile.

Answer 6

I think Social Security pays at the end of every month. If your approved you will get back pay from the time you first filed to the time you were approved. They should send you out a check at the end of August if that's what they said. It should be a big check the first time. If you don't get a check by the first of September I would call your local social security office and asks them about it.

Answer 7

SSDI backpayments should arrive before you scheduled August payment.
