SSI Back Pay Installments

Does anybody know whether that SSI back pay comes on a certain day of the month? I got my first installment the same week I was approved for SSI it came on the same day I got my first benefit. But I should receive one in January and I'm trying to figure out when I will see it? If anyone has any experience with receiving them in would love to hear about it!

I was supposed to got my son last backpay in Jan 2018 . Still haven't gotten it yet. I called the ssa and they told me I have to do the review 1st. Why didn't they send a letter in the mail letting me know that so I wouldn't be looking dumb. I just got my car stolen and it had all my son clothes and everything he needs in it. U think they will release the funds asap.

Hello,

I am so sorry to hear that. I can't say for sure why they didn't send a letter. You may be able to receive expedited payments due to your situation. You can speak with a SSA rep regarding that. Best of luck.

HI Wayne,
If you're receiving benefits based on income, you would receive two installments of up to $2000 six months apart and the rest in your last installment.

So I am an SSI disability, I have received the first and second installment of back pay. Last installment is due in June of this year. I have a great need for a vehicle, and was told it's an approved purchase. I have no other means of transportation, to doctors appt. The grocery store, doing my laundry etc. So I applied for early release of balance. Showed proof of intent to purchase a vehicle, 5 pages of proof including a purchase agreement with seller. Was then told I have to get a Dr. Note stating it's medically necessary. My doctor says it's a basic need and I do need to get to appointments but it doesn't fit parameters of medical necessity. So no note. What can I do. Also lady at ss office actually said to me on the phone "that's what you get for being welfare social security. Please help..loosing out on a great deal.

HI Renee,
I'm sorry to hear about that! You may want to contact your doctor again regarding this, if your condition affects your mobility, it may be considered necessary.
