If you have recently received your first disability payment, you may be wondering when you will receive your back pay. During the application process, your lawyer may have mentioned back pay, but didn’t fully clarify to you what it was. Our Social Security lawyers in Fountain Valley want to help you understand back pay and how it benefits you.
What is Back Pay?
Back pay is all of the disability benefits you qualified for but were not paid during the time it took for the Social Security Administration to approve your application. More often than not, back pay results from the time it took to file an appeal after receiving a letter of denial.
The appeals process is time-consuming and can take months or longer for your claim to be approved. While our Social Security lawyers near Fountain Valley fight for your benefits, your pay is accumulating.
When Will I Get My Money?
You will receive your back pay in a one-time deposit, and it can take up to four months to receive. Usually, a claimant will receive their back pay within sixty days of being approved, but there is a fair amount of inconsistency with this.
Our Social Security lawyers near Fountain Valley know the stress that this process can have on our clients. If you have been waiting for your back pay, don’t become just another person who is lost in the system. Contact the Law Offices of Norman J. Homen today.
