Social security attorney Where to start
Q: When will I receive my first payment after I have been approved for social security disability insurance? A: 5 months after your condition began, you can begin to collect SSDI payments. You will really begin receiving payments the sixth month after the onset date of injury, since benefits are paid a month after they are due. If you have been awarded retroactive benefits, most claimants receive those payments in about 60 days. Remember that you will not receive retroactive benefits for the aforementioned five months you must wait to be eligible for benefits. A social security lawyer can be of valuable assistance, if you wish to apply for retroactive benefits or have not yet received your anticipated first benefits check after your 5 month waiting period.
