Ignorance is bliss.. or is it?: How long until I get my benefits?

Hello,

The biggest question we hear every day is: "How long until I get my benefits?"

When you are unable to work, every day counts. In California, the timeline for Social Security Disability can be a long road. It often takes several months for an initial decision and even longer if an appeal is necessary. Between processing times at local SSA Field Offices and the backlog at hearing offices, the wait can feel overwhelming.

But there is a light at the end of the tunnel: Back Pay.

What is Back Pay?

The Social Security Administration recognizes that the application process takes time. If your claim is approved, you are often entitled to benefits dating back to when you first became disabled or when you first applied. This "Back Pay" is typically paid in a lump sum. It helps you cover the bills that piled up while you were waiting for your approval.

Your bills won't wait, and neither should you. Let us help you secure the maximum back pay you deserve.
