SSI Back Pay Installments

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

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!

Hi Daniel,

If you were approved for disability benefits within 5 months of applying (this is known as the waiting period), then you will not receive back pay. If you applied in May 2019, but were approved in May 2020, then you'll likely get back pay for 7 months (again, no back pay for the first 5 months you were waiting).

Hi Stephanie,

Back pay usually comes in 3 installments. On the third installment you will be paid the remaining balance of the back pay that you are owed.

I was approved for SSI on May 9th 2020 I originally filled back last year in July. Will I get back pay from that point and how long will it take before I receive my 1st payment.

Hi Tetesa,

There is a 5 month "waiting period" that you will not receive back pay for. So if you applied in July, then you will not receive back pay for the 5 months after that.

You first installment typically will come about 4 months after you begin receiving benefits.
