[QUOTE=sm08;662700]I had an appt re:SSI portion, I know I won't get it. I don't know if SSI gives retro pay, I do think there was a short period that our income may have qualified us in beginning of my SSD application, so I'm wondering if maybe I will get retro for that short period.


I checked the SSI website and you get benefits from one month after you applied or became eligible for SSI. So if it takes 6 months to approve your application you would get 5 months backpay. It's a lot more complicated than this if you have income but the previous cited website should answer all you question if not call the SSA.
