When I got approved for social security disability, it was on ther first time, which is rare. I got a check for about $5,000 first. It was a back payment check. Once you are approved, they go back & pay you from the date you filed for disability. The second check is probably the monthly check you will get. The first bigger check is a one time thing. Hope this helps! That just my experience with SSD.

Hi again SM08!
You should call medicare and let them know you have not received the card yet. Medicare covers 80%. You are entitled to it and you do not have to repay medicare at all. Did you get your backpay? I got approved right around the same time you did and my disability date goes back to 3/2006. Yeesh..baby climbing up on my lap. |
