SSI Award Letter


If the Social Security Administration awards you Supplemental Security disability, or SSI, disability benefits, you will receive an SSI award letter.

The SSI award letter contains information about the requirements of the SSI disability program, as well as information about what your continuing monthly SSI monetary amount will be.

Generally, SSI award letters are not generated until you have had another interview with a claims representative at your local Social Security office. During this interview, the claims representative will review your income and resources, discuss your living arrangements, and whether or not you are paying your share of household expenses.

Once your living arrangements are verified, you will receive a letter stating the amount of your monthly SSI benefits. Additionally, you will receive information regarding any potential back payment. Of course, you will be informed of all the rules and regulations governing SSI back payments.

You may be wondering how long it will be before you receive your SSI benefits once you have received your SSIaward letter. There is no set time frame in which to receive your checks once you have received your SSI award letter. However, Social Security does attempt to process your disability claim in a timely manner.
