Back Pay ?

[sbrewer]

I have some questions about ss backpay. According to letter from ALJ hearing, the onset date will be from 2-09-2007, how many months of backpay would they owe him? I know there is a 5 or 6 month waiting period, but I don't know if it starts from Feb. or March(this being the first full month).

Also, if anyone knows about FERS. I know they get the first yr. of SS, however if SS pay starts 5 or 6 months later, would they get the full amount of 6 months of SS then the 60%? His FERS changed April 1, 2008.

thanks,

sbrewer

I don't know anything about FERS and I am not sure what you mean by onset date. If that is the date they considered him disabled then its 6 FULL months from the date he became disabled. If they said the onset is 2/9 then it starts in March.

Payment would most likely start in August of 2007.

I would call FERS and ask them straight out.
