Received Ssdi Letter Of Award

[Cherie33]

Hello fellow Vets,

I received my award/payment amount letter from SS on Sept. 7, 2009. I am due 3 years backpay, does anyone have any idea when I should receive my backpay? I started receiving my monthly SSD payments in Oct. 2009.

Thanks,

Cherie33

You should have had it by now. Call Social Security or go to their office and ask what is up?

Good Luck

Hey Pete53,

I called the Social Security office and, I was told that I should be receiving it any time now. She said usually 60 - 90 days, after you receive your first SSD check. I don't know though, I heard so many different stories. Also, she told me that if I hadn't received it in about a month to call back and they will check with the processig center. Whatever that means.

Thanks for your help though,

The Processing Center determines the amount to send and processes the check. My son started getting his benefits (Survivor) in May 09 and got his back pay in October. So it took some time. He did not get any additional letter on the back pay. It just showed up one day.

Wow Free,

It took (5) months...That's crazy...When I received my letter of award, it explained of how much I would get monthly, and it also said how much back pay I was entitled to, as well as how much they would with hold for payment to my attorney's "Binder & Binder". I sure hope it doesn't take that long. I was told initially that I would receive payment 60 - 90 days as of the date of the notice of award which was Sept. 7, 2009 (I believe). So, it's already been 90 days, according to that calculation. Anyway, thanks for your response.

Yeah, that sounds about right...It took about 45 days for me to get my backpay.

Congratulations on your award,
