What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California

Who gets SSI backpay first The welfare office or SSI lawyer? I'm worried because i hope the SSI back pay will pay both party. I have no money to pay either party without the backpay. I file for SSI in 2013. I started welfare in 2014. my hearing is Dec 2015.

"Installment payments are determined after the State has been reimbursed for interim assistance and/or direct payment of any representative fee has been made." From Item C-5 on this page: https://secure.ssa.gov/poms.nsf/lnx/0502101020

There's a lot more info on that page, and on the links provided on that page. :)
