Social Security Back PayWhat is Social Security back pay? Back pay means just that, the back payment of disability benefits to individuals who have months of entitlement to Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits in the past. Social Security back pay begins the month an individual is entitled to receive monetary disability benefits. For instance, if and individual was awarded disability benefits with a month of entitlement of November 2006, the individual would be entitled to a back payment of twelve months of disability benefits. Additionally, any auxiliaries (children or even spouses) are also entitled to the same number of months of back payment of benefits that the disabled individual is entitled to receive. As you can imagine, the amount of a Social Security back payment can be substantial, especially if an individual’s disability claim was approved at the administrative law judge hearing. It is not unusual for an individual to receive many months or even years of Social Security disability back benefits due to the severe backlog of disability claims at the Social Security hearing offices across the nation.
