What is it that you have that you had to apply for SSID? I know that it does take a long time for any kind of benefits from any form of payments. I had issues with Unemployment and had to appeal for my benefits. Now SSID is different kind of benefits. The part about "payment status" could mean that they have issued your payments but, because of the amount of people who appllied it's probably all backed up. Unfortunetly we just have to sit back and wait or keep on calling. Remember that ol saying "the squeaky wheel gets the oil"? That's what i would do. Good luck and let us know the progress.
