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 Tee,
Hi Tee,
It unfortunately could be a couple of months until you get that payment, even if it's being processed now.

Hi Margie,
Hi Margie,
I would not be able to say, but once you receive a decision letter it may specify more about when your benefits will start.

Hi Bev,

You may not have received a fully favorable decision, and as such you may not have been eligible for back pay.

Hi Richard,
Hi Richard,
They may go as far back as your Established Onset Date, which is when the SSA decided you became disabled.

Hi there,
Hi there,
generally, back pay is only paid for the time you applied until you start receiving monthly benefits.
Hi,
Hi,
I was approved for disability on 1/15/2015. I received my first disability check 1/3/16. I'm still waiting on my disability backpay. When I call they tell me 30 days but that never happens. I went in to the social security office and they said mine was complicated because of my disabled son and the passing of my husband in 2014 and my turning 65 the end of July. They said they just started working on it the end of March! I was told each time I call to inquire they put it at the end of the pile of claims! My husband and I worked our entire life. He's gone now and I'm living on $1957.00 a month. Who can live on that amount. I have medical bills in collections and need my backpay!! Need answers!!

Hi JoNell,
Hi JoNell,
You may want to contact the SSA with some documentation showing that you have medical bills in collections, they may be able to expedite your back pay if you have an urgent need for it.
I applied for SSD back on 2
I applied for SSD back on 2/16 just got my denial letter, in the process of hiring an attorney for the appealing process just wanted to know how long before I get a hearing. I'm in California from what I've read this might takes years. Please advise. One last question, because of my disability (SLE,Sjogrens,Fibromyalgia) I stopped working on 6/15 been on disability since then and my last check is schedule for the end of this month my question does the 5 month waiting period still apply to my case?
In reply to I applied for SSD back on 2 by Kenks (not verified)
Hi Kenks,
Hi Kenks,
Hearing times will vary by location, but the average wait time is 17 months currently. The 5 month waiting period is the period you would have to wait after approval rather than anything else. If you're still looking for a lawyer, if you fill out the form on the left, we can have a disability advocate or attorney reach out to you.
