If you are approved for Social Security disability, you may receive a lump sum. Social Security disability will pay an individual back to their month of entitlement, consequently if your disability claim had to be appealed through the hearings level or Appeals Council, there will be a lot of months which must be paid to you in the form of a back payment. You will receive that as a lump sum payment if you are entitled to Social Security disability. If you receive SSI disability the lump sum amount will be disbursed to you in partial payments. You will have a disability interview with your local Social Security claims representative when you are approved for SSI disability, and at that time the payment process will be explained to you. Additionally, if your claim is approved at an earlier level (initial application or reconsideration appeal), your lump sum amount may be less. Of course, if the state disability agency determines a later disability onset than your alleged onset, your lump sum payment may be much smaller than what you anticipated or you may not be entitled to a lump sum payment at all. In fact, once you are approved for Social Security disability, your medical onset may even be in the future, meaning there would be no lump sum payable to you. However, in most cases, a person who has been awarded benefits will receive a backpayment.
