Im so new to this exuse me if i sound not right.
Ok,i was approved for ssi and ssdi on june 4th,and got my approval letter 6weeks later,after going to the locql of
fice,i had my ssi check and backpay a week later.they also the day i went gave me a emergency advvance due to my power being off,ok anyway,
i havent heard yet about my ssdi portion as it went to the payment center,and im wondering how long does it take to get the forst monthly ssdi check while awaiting the backpay portions?
Is it possible i will get my ssdi check forst,then the backpay later down the road? Already i dont get the ssi for sept,as the advance they gave is coming out of that..thank for ne info:d

how far back did you retro go? The award letter should say when you first payment is coming but based on when you got the letter i would say sep-oct. Oh and when i say retro i mean what is your entitlement date after your 5 month waiting period.

me entitlement date is june 0f 2007----was approved ssi also,and i haVE ALREAD gotten thier payment set up,just waiting for the ssdi to kick in....
id it possible i will start getting the ssdi monthly while the backpay is calculated?

Stella,

Sure, it is possible that you will start getting checks while they are still figuring out the backpay, but it's also possible you will get the backpay check while waiting for your monthly checks to start.

sure hope so lol..thank
