Ssa disability what happens after I am approved

0:12 Good day and welcome to another edition Q and Day social Security Disability Today. Let's get to your questions. What happens after I get my money? More importantly, what happens after I give I approved? Meaning, when will I get my money? Got to make sure I correct that. All right, you've gone through the disability process, You've been determined to be disabled. Now here comes the funky part. You want to know when can you see the money coming? All right? First thing first is it depends on one what type of program you're entitled to receive. This is what most people fail to realize that once they do the disability portion, they have to do the technical portion, and sometimes the technical portion is not always clean. Typically, you

0:54 find that most people fall under at least three programs, either supplemental security income, disability insurance benefits, or disabled widows benefits, or we call a concurrent claim, which is a combination of both. Let's assume that you have been awarded supplemental security income. First of all, they have to do a resource interview that occurs at the local office level. That means the moment you've been the moment you've received the decision that's favorable, you'll get contacted by the local office for you to come in, sit down and provide them a breakdown of your resources, your assets so they can determine how much money you're entitled to receive. Then once they calculate that money, they will then determine how much

1:36 of a backpay you are entitled to receive. If you're gonna get SSI, you're not going to get the lump sum all at once. If it's a large plump sum, usually if it's over three or four thousand dollars, they're going to break it up into six month increments, So don't be surprised there. If you're getting disabled and disability insurance benefits or disabled widows, that's a little different. That money is not processed locally. That money is actually processed at a payment center somewhere in the United States, whether it be Jamaica, New York, Birmingham, Alabama, Baltimore, Maryland. I think there's a couple of other payment centers as well. So those benefits are calculating solely based on what you paid into the system. If you have what we call a

2:16 concurrent application, meaning you have an SSI and dB or DWB, that's where it gets a little weird because both programs have to be calculated, being the SSI portion has to be calculated first, and then that information is provided to the Disability Insurance benefits of the DWB portion at the payment centers, whether they be in Alabama or Maryland or New York, whatever the case may be.

2:40 A lot of times people get frustrated because they're like, why does it cause? Why is there such a delay? The problem a lot of times is that these programs interplay with each other. That's one, and also if there's other underlying technicalities that have to be addressed, like what well, if you received workers' compines benefits, there's an offset or reduction of benefits that may be affected by the fact that you receive workers come that has to be calculating.

3:08 If you had assets that came in during the time period when you are saying you're disabled, meaning you got like a settlement or a lottery that may affect your SSIDE benefits. There's child support involved, well, there's an outstanding child support that money maybe have to be reduced. So a lot of times what ends up happening, Oh, let me strike as well, maybe they determine you need to have a representative pay ee, somebody to handle your money that might cause a delight, or if you have kids benefits for purposes, if it's a kid's case and you need to have what we call a dedicated account, that might cause a delight. The reality is is all these things may sound funky, but these are some of the reasons why you may see delays

3:46 in getting your benefits. The bottom line answer most people want to know is how long should I brace for? I tell people from creative to grave sixty to ninety days. And the reason why I say sixteen to ninety days is because that gives Social Security the upperportunity to work through any technicalities that may be affecting your ability to get benefits. The nice part of it is you will be receiving award notices from the Social Security Administration letting you know how the money is being calculated, so you will have a good idea of how that money is calculated. Again, this is Attorney Anthony Reeves and as always, if you have a Q and A join me here. Social Security
