Retroactive Social Security Benefits
A common question that comes up when someone considers
applying for Social Security Disability or Supplemental
Security Income benefits is: "If I get approved, will I get
retroactive benefits?"
When you apply for Social Security Disability or
Supplemental Security Income, you may get retroactive
benefits going back one year from the date of your
application. Based on this rule, if you apply within that
year of becoming disabled from work, you will not lose
benefits.
There is also a five month waiting period for Social
Security Disability benefits. Because of this, you can
safely apply without losing benefits up to 17 months after
you stop working. However, a person should apply for
benefits immediately upon believing he or she is disabled.
Waiting increases the chance that you will lose benefits.
If you have applied for Social Security Disability or
Supplemental Security Income benefits and your application
has been denied by the Social Security Administration, talk
with an experienced Social Security Attorney.
