Check your bank acct to see if they deposited a check already.They do this without any real warning or sending any sort of reciept.It's kjust "there" one day.I got my first check three days after I recieved a phone call from someone at ssa asking me questions about my son and benefits.I had to ask him,does this mean I have been approved then?and i was told yes it was approved about two days ago.I was shocked but quite overjoyed.my first check was deposited by the end of that week.I did not get ANYTHING from ssa saying anything about being approved until about a month later.Congrats!!marcia

congrates and thank you its nice to no the people who really need it get approved even if it takes forever.unfortunetly due to circumstance i do not have a bank account at this time so i will be waiting for it to come in the mail i talked to my lawyer yestur day she told me lol not to freak out it will come. she said it take a month or to to get the writen decision and then another month or 2 to start get payments, all this waiting in limbo stinks but it is what it is. atleast i was approved for ssi and ssd so things are good

Hi,
Just wanted to tell you it may take a few months. I was approved November 5 and got my back ss first in February. I got my first regular check in April.
Take care and hope this helps.
