Last SSA wage letter stated if disabled now would receive 1294 per month. I have 4 children.
Any idea on calculations? When to expect back pay?
And taxes to be paid if this is my only income to be received for 2010?
Thanks

You do have to report disability payments to the IRS and pay taxes IF after deductions you still have an income high enough that requires income taxes. I file every year even though I don't have to pay taxes. My husband runs his own business and I have a separate checking account and file taxes seperately so that my monies from SSDI can never be attached. (Example if he lost a law suit they couldn't get to SSDi monies).
My backpay arrived before I was notified that I hade been approved. Although I've heard stories of people waiting awhile for the check to arrive.
