The backpay installments will be made in three payments, at six month intervals. The first two payments can't be more than three times your maximum monthly benefit. The remainder of backpay will be paid in the third installment, regardless of the amount.
My family and I receive my ssi check earlier this month that caught us up on bill. We are now in need of food clothes for children and transportation for my wife to get to work and me to make appointments. I am owed back pay but we need money now.. Like yesterday now. How do I get the funds or advance for my family
Hi Brandy,
You may be able to contact the SSA regarding this, if you have a documented urgent need for the money, the SSA may be able to work with you regarding this.
I have accumulated hospital and doctor bills.I summited mt Disablity app application in N0v 2016. I was approved after waiting 5 month. During what waiting period, I accrued all these medical expense. Will Medicare pay for any portions of these medical Bills, And if so, do I submit thru my Disability attorney or to the local SSA office?
I let a friend of mine borrow money while she has been waiting for her ssdi backpay. Since then she does not appear to want to pay my money back. I have legal documentation notarized proving she owes me the money. Can I file documents putting a hold on her money. Legally what can I do?
I was approved for my disability in Feb of 2017. I am now tring to get an advance on my back pay to fix the vehicle I bought.

Not able to get to Dr or any thing else I need to get to??
Hello, I am trying to help my mother out and find out some info being the social security administration is very vague in there answers to questions. My mother has back pay of three years and was told she will get three different installments. She needs to get a car and the first installment is not near enough to buy something decent that will last. I have heard that if you bring documentation of a vehicle for sale they will give you the money for it out of your retro lump some. Is this true? If so how long does it typically take?

Social security messed up my whole case for over a year and owe me alot of mo ey back. Because of their mistake, my family and I are behind on our bills and we are practically homeless. Social security is giving me a hard time to give me some money out of my last installment which I am owed. I was planning a surprise vacation for my family next month and social security will not lend it to me.
It took us a year between when the lawyer got involved and the actual hearing. You need to know that our first lawyers went bankrupt though so that took time to set us back up with all the documentation and stuff.
My mom recently received 2 checks one for me and my sister. She receives social security disability and received checks for us until we were 18. This was 20 years ago. Is this a back payment? Would we need to file this money on taxes?
I am homeless wit my 2 chrikdren and I already got one payment in May of 2,000 my next payment isn't til November will ssi help me and give me some of my back money
If I can found a place to leave I need answers asap I don't know what else to do
You could qualify for expedited payments due to your situation. I would recommend calling the SSA and speaking to a representative from there. 1-800-772-1213.
My child got back pay and the ssi dept won't let me use it unless it is medical needs. My child has a mental disability not physical. I'm so confused
I don't know why I don't see the question I posted yesterday so I'll post it again. My husband had his hearing on 5/26/17 and everything went really well. The lawyer felt that it was a done deal but we still haven't heard anything one way or the other. When should we expect to hear from anyone?
My baby cousin received a first time lump sum payment of $2199 on December 2016. The Social Security Rep told her payee she would need to provide proof/receipts of that money used for that child for that month only. Really? Also the money could only be used for disability purposes for the child only excluding food and clothes. Really? I am confused about the disability items...Please help
HI Tonya,
Your cousin's payee may need to save receipts for anything that they buy with the money, and they may be able to buy food and clothing for the child with it. They may want to contact their local SSA office if they are in doubt about whether a purchase is allowed.

Medicare may not be able to pay those bills as they are prior to your enrollment in Medicare.

Hi Tavy,
Larger amounts of backpay, like your son's are split into three payments, six months apart.

Hi Joyce,
Generally SSDI benefits are not able to be garnished, you may want to consult the laws in your state regarding debt.
