MOST SSI beneficiaries who have waited months for their benefits to be approved are eligible for back pay.
Some recipients may qualify for payments for the period of time between their application date and the date they were approved for benefits.
Further, if your application was initially denied and an appeal was later approved, you can apply for back pay.
Back payments are made by the Social Security Administration (SSA) in three installments.
Meanwhile, the SSA will send out two more rounds of Social Security Disability Insurance benefit checks this month.
The date that SSDI recipients receive monthly payments depends on your birthdate – unless you started claiming SSDI after 1997.
If your birth date is on the 11th-20th of your birth month, the payment will be deposited on May 18. If your birth date is on the 21st-31st, it will be deposited on May 25.
The average monthly benefit for disabled workers has gone up from $1,282 to $1,358 a month in 2022.
