For those on SS disability, how long did it take to get your backpay check?



How long did it take from judge approval to get the check from the back pay? Or the first payment check?

I was approved in the hearing and it's over a month and I still have not received a check.

Anyone's experiences? I am in CT.

Thank you.

My experience was quite fast. After the courts decided my disability, I received my back pay in no time. Perhaps a month and certainly within 6 weeks. Call your attorney or your local Social Security office they should be able to tell exactly.

Good Luck Source(s): Life's Experience.
from the time i started my case until i recieved the first installment, it was about 18 months
then you need to call the SSA, its five months after they have determined the start date that they pay. to keep you within the assets limits, they will only issue checks up to 2 grand at a time. the wheels turn slowly there, it can take a while. they have to get you in the system, then you get your check on your designated day (based on your birthday) the next month
my experience
My little sister is a ss attorney. She says it can take six months, AFTER the hearing.

She says, the hearing can typically take 2-5 years to get.

Her biggest gripe, is that some people die of their illness, before the hearing comes up.
