Just recieved $2,022 in ssi backpay. Just wandering did you apply for ssi and ssd, because I totally do not understand their process. They owe me more than this but they can only send that amount every six mths. And there holding my ssd backpay to pay ssi back. TOTALLY CONFUSSING

I am also struggling to understand your situation, because it seems like mine.
-I got a fully favorable decision in 11-10 for both ssi/ssdi
-then a letter from ssdi soon after stating what my backpay is/ what my lawyer got, My monthly amount, and the date it 'should' come every month. sounds right so far.
When the SSI backpay is finally calculated I know it is sent in portions, my question is; Do they not send the SSDI backpay until all the SSI portions are sent?? Because even though that seems insane, it could very well be 'par' for this course, eh?
-If you could kindly keep me posted, because my story is like your story, only one chapter behind.

Sorry It took me so long to repley, you may have recieved some of your backpay by now but after speaking with the right person at the ss office I finally understood what happens with paying the ssi back. Example... if you recieved 7,700 from ssd and 8,500 from ssi they will sent you according to this amount about 1,800 for ssd back pay and 2,022 for ssi back pay and the ssi comes first and about two days later I was not expecting it but the ssd came after you recieve these to checks if your approved for both the portion for paying back ssi has already been taken and that would be 7,700-1,800= 5,900 already paid to ssi thats all they will get and the rest of 8,500-2,022= 6,478 or some portion of this will be sent in six months if you don,t recieve all of it in six months then after six more months they have to send all thats left no matter what amount it is. I hope I did not confuse you with this it took me a while to understand it myself.

You have the same question posted three times, but anyway here is a law concerning ssi backpay.

The amounts of the installment payments may be increased in certain cases, such as those in which the individual has outstanding debt relating to food, clothing, or shelter, or has necessary medical needs. If you have a situation that you believe requires that your installment payment be increased, call 1-800-772-1213. People who are deaf or hard of hearing may call our toll-free TTY number, 1-800-325-0778, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Monday through Friday.

You may also contact your local office.

I recently found out that I was entitled to the whole amount at once. One of their rules are if your approved for ssi and ssd backpay but do not recieve ssi in future payments each month that they are required to pay in full so I contacted the ss office and their suppose to resopond within 40 days

I did read at some point that you can get the whole amount, however they changed the SS site around and I can't find anything anymore. There are certain reasons. In case they don't get to you within 40 days, I will continue to look, and if I can find under what circumstances you can get all the benefits at once, I will post it.

Exception to installments for SSI. There are no installments for SSDI.

My wife has been waiting now for her SSDI "only" since nov. 2. There are no other benefits holding up her SSDI. She was not involved with WC or SSI, welfare, medicaid etc. This is 3.5 years of back pay. The banksters are now swarming all around us poised to pick our bones.

I contacted my local office today. The person I talked with had a very bad attitude as if they did not want me to find this information, but the info I found to be true. If I would not have found this info I would be recieving my backpay every six months it would be the end of this year before recieving it all. Because I did find it she said funds will be released as soon as possible.

I did not apply (or qualify) for SSDI.. but I did get that exact amount in SSI backpay. Then a month later I got the rest (eight hundred and some dollars). I didn't have to wait 6 months for the rest of my back pay.

But because I have not applied for SSDI, there may be very different rules and processes to go through. Hope you get it all figured out soon. It will come in time.
