How long will it usually take to receive Social Security disability after you have been approved?Generally, if you have received your Social Security disability allowance at the initial or reconsideration level, you will receive your benefits sooner than an individual who has been allowed at the hearing level. Administrative law judge hearing allowances take longer to procesds, because a decision must be written and from there the claim is sent to a Social Security payment Center to be processed. All of this takes time; therefore some individuals will not receive payment for two or three months after their hearing. On the other hand, individuals who are allowed for Social Security disability at the initial or reconsideration levels may have their Social Security benefits within a couple of weeks, depending upon Social Security processing time and their month of entitlement to benefits. What do I mean by month of entitlement? The month of entitlement is the actual month that an individual is entitled to receive a disability benefit. Some individuals may have a future month of entitlement, usually due to the five-month waiting period. For more information on: Social Security Disability and SSI Disability.
