This morning, I called the local SSD office, the agent said; It's currently being worked on and there is a notation to hold attorneys fee's from July 2007 thru May 2010, thats all it reads.
The agent will call them to see if there's a problem with that, then agent will call me back to let me know why my monies are being held back.

Basicly, I got same response from last month, saying it's currently being worked on.
Gosh, what could be the holdup, attorney's office said they're not protesting the fee.

Colbeymore-did you get your monthly benefit on time? Cblue-did you recieve your backpay? I don't remember, sorry, I remember one of you recieved the Favorable notice 5/28/10,just like me.
Will keep you all posted, Thanks

I received my favorable letter 5/20/10. Yes my regular monthly arrived safely in my bank account on the 28th. I too called local office again regarding my children's back pay..still same thing at payment center if I dont received by the 14 to call back again and they "would call the payment center to see what is holding up the claim" ??? lol

Hi, I called the SSD 800#, was told there was an "urgent message" from an agent in my local office, (I know the agent was trying to find out why the hold up), on 7/27/10, an agent from baltimore started working on computing my pay..
The agent said to wait 7-10 business days, to see if I get my money. I told her I was told the same thing a month ago or so.
I hope I get it soon, my kids are going back to school soon and are needing school clothes,shoes. If only at least they would issue my monthly benefits for now.
Today,is my Birthday, I wish money would've been in my bank today. So more waiting, its been 4 years, hopefully soon I get it.

Well Happy Birthday. I really don't understand SSD they have laws to protect the Disabled and it seems SS is the biggest culprit of all, when it comes to justification of the disabled. Well I hope you get your check soon so your kids can have the things they deserve, to go back to school. Good luck.

Happy Bday SM08!!!!!! I hope you get your backpay soon!
I called again today and they said it just got to the payment processing center yesterday and once it is processed it will take 7-10 bus days...I don't know how long it takes to process. I get my monthly pay as do my kids. I got my kids backpay. Just waiting on mine..I can't use the kids backpay to pay off my bills. I was able to buy them toys and an air conditioner for my 4 year old and lots of clothes for next summer (clearance sales).
I got my approval May 28 as well.

You guys have a good weekend!

Colbey & SM08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!! I GOT IT !!! I GOT IT!!!!!
I just checked my acct for the heck of it and my backpay was in there!!!!!!!!! I have so many bills that will be paid off now!
Yay!
OK...now it's your turn!!!!

Yea Cblue! Enjoy. Maybe the processing time varies from state to state. My claim has been at the processing center since 6/7/10 lol..
I have stopped checking my mail box now and moved on. congratulations to you.

I recieved a call from my local SSD office this morning, was told my benefits have been computed and was told amounts for backpay and monthly.
Agent said he didn't know how much kids backpay would be and out of the backpay they were taking $110.00 for each month,going back two years for Medicare payments and that after that every month $110.00 is taken out of my benefits. My first monthly check will be on September.
Also, he said re: childrens backpay, he didnt know if they were going to get anything.
Does anyone know if this is the norm? to pay back the medicare portions for last 2yrs?, I then asked him since I would be paying it, could I be reimbursed for medical bills I've paid last 2yrs?
I don't know, if i'm making sence,lol
I thought it was my choice of going back that far back to pay for the medicare portion. I do have insurance through my hubbys work,we pay the 20% part.

Sorry,if I sound confusing, just wondering if this is right the way it was done.

Thanks

Did he give you a choice about the medicare payments going back 2 years? Mine went back 1 month...I didn't care as it was only a month.

Cblue...I wasn't given a choice,it was calculated at the payment center and thats how they did it.
If I had a choice, I would only have paid for current month, not for two years. I will know more when I get my notices, I guess. I guess theres nothing I can do about it now.
I don't know now, I'm confused .

I don't understand the Medicare part. I hope someone can help me with that. I do have "PPO" Health coverage and we pay the 10% part, I had forgot we changed it in July.
I will keep you all posted.
