They say it doesn't happen but it DID!

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

After applying, being denied, then appealing, being denied again, I applied to have a hearing with the Administrative Law Judge. After almost a year and a half wait I attended my Social Security Disability hearing just this afternoon!

I am happy to say it was a slam dunk. I bet I wasn't in there 5 minutes and the judge approved my case right there on the spot! All the "advice" websites say that rarely happens, if ever. They say it takes 60 days to get a verdict. Well I am here to tell you that miracles do happen - especially when your significant other is a witch and conjured up a spell for me last night!

So now my question is: How long should it take for me to see some money? I am owed quite a bit in arrears, plus of course the monthly income. My lawyer said it could take 6 weeks. but wasn't sure. Anyone have similar experience or any idea how long it will take? Thank you in advance!!!

reasonable expectation: 30-60 days for first check. 60-90 days for retroactive benefits. If this is SSI and SSDI, the claims will be paid by two different components who don't coordinate when the work is finished.

Thanks. I don't qualify for SSI at this point. It looks like my payday is on the 4th Wednesday of the month.

So with any luck it will be June 22 for first check, yes?

Also, I had private LTD and got an attorney. Who figures out who pays who and when? Anyone happen to know this? Thanks again!
