Fully Favorable Award Letter,?? How Long Befor Back Pay Starts?
 

HOW LONG DOSE IT TAKE, TO RECEIVE YOUR BACK PAY AFTER U GET YOUR AWARD LETTER? HOW DOSE THE BACK PAY WORK, FOR LARGE OR SMALL $ AMOUNTS?:confused:

#2 ?... ANYONE WHO RECEIVED THEIR BACK PAY ALREADY, HOW LONG DID THEY(YOU) HAVE TO WAIT? ANY INFO WOULD BE NICE TO KNOW. :confused: THANKS

Mine took about a month or so. But I came to find out that SSA had tried to do a direct deposit into an account that I no longer had. It just took one phone call to give them the correct routing and account numbers and it was there the next day.

Contacting them and making sure that they have the correct account and routing numbers is a good idea to help speed along the process. Mine took about 60 days.

I think I waited about 2 months to get my back pay in one check. Then my monthly payments started about the same time. They had my bank account information so it was directly deposited.

I got my letter towards the end of october and got my first check in december. about a week after the first monthly check I got my backpay. but they told me it could take 60 days

I find that SS are about the most organized and responsive agency in our government . . . on the phone! I have not found the same quick, courteous and prompt response from the local office, but every time I have had to call with a question or information (when setting up my direct deposit, and when I had to change accounts) they have been very good to work with.

checking in
 

Hello,

I just wanted to check in with you to see if you had received anything yet. We were approved at around the same time and I haven't gotten my benefit yet yikes I need it so bad. I did get my fully favorable letter in mail but no money yet how about you. I had a fully favorable decision at hearing Feb 25 got my letter fully favorable from judge April 18 now just waiting.

Let me know I pray god speeds your journey.

The back pay was in my account before I got the letter.:)

Fully Favorable Decision
 

Yes, if you are going to use direct deposit.

Back Pay can many months. My neighbor has been waiting for eight months, and he calls them weekly for updates.

I hope your back pay arrives quicker.

I'm at 6 months so I wouldn't get your hopes up with it arriving soon.

back pay
 

Hello, I am glad you received the help with agencies. I waited about two months for my check to arrive after I got the favorable outcome letter. It wasn't long. I did have a rep. working with me for benefits, so I don't know if that helped or not. It was not that long. Good luck to you. That waiting while you are hurting financially is difficult...ginnie

I just recieved my award letter today fully favorable so i still have to wait30 to 60 days to recieve a check. why does it take so long

Re: maybe
 

My check as I said was pretty quick. Maybe it depends on how back logged your state is. It seems some get it very fast, others are waiting 6 months etc. I wish you all the best. ginnie

If you elected "direct deposit" you will get your $$$ very quickly. However, it will be up to you to check your banking account every week because you will NOT be notified of the "surprise" :D by SS at the time it is deposited.
