I WAS JUST AWARDED MY BENEFITS. WHEN CAN I EXPECT TO RECEIVE PAYMENTS?
Assuming there is nothing complicated about your particular circumstances – there is no Workers’ Compensation offset or State pension issue – benefits can be paid in as little as 60 days. For Supplemental Security Income claimants, if there is an emergency financial situation, you might be able to get benefits processed more quickly by going in person to the local office and explaining your dire financial needs.
