New here but not to disability process.. I was approved by ALJ on June 6th waived my SSI last week. Now just waiting on ssdi backpay and or first monthly payment. Still have not received award letter so can't sign up for my children's benefits until I get that award letter.. It has only been 15 days since approval but seems like an eternity.. The wait is driving me CRAZY like everyone else I need my money like yesterday or before.. Just wandering how long everyone else had to wait for backpay?!? And if I was approved June 6th should I atleast get my first monthly payment in July?!?
