This information may help claimants with representation, as well as those who are not represented by an attorney or non attorney representative. Understanding how the Social Security Disability system works can make the difference between winning or not winning the ssd and ssi benefits and backpay to which a person is entitled. |

Unfortunately, in many cases there is no apparent rhyme or reason as to the length of time it takes SSA to process ssi and social security disability benefits.
This is due to the fact that social security disability benefits are actually processed in payment processing centers, not at the social security office where cases are resolved. And while ssi benefits processing is handled at the local office where a person files their claim, there is no pre-set deadline that applies. Generally, though, after a claim for social security disability or ssi benefits has been approved, you can expect to receive monthly benefits within sixty days, though waits of several months are not unheard of. The amount of time involved to receive backpay, or past due benefits, unfortunately, can be much longer. However, there are regular instances of social security disability and ssi backpayment benefits being deposited into bank accounts before Claimants have even received notices that benefits have been awarded.
