It sometimes takes months or even years for Social Security to approve a child for SSI (Supplemental Security Income) disability benefits. When the SSI application is approved, the SSI payments can go back to the month after the month you applied. These months of back payments are called retroactive benefits.
In that case, you can get a maximum of 12 months back pay before the month you filed your application, paid in a lump sum. On the other hand, with SSI, the earliest benefits can begin is the month after you file an application. It does not matter how long you've been disabled when you apply. Finally, SSI back pay is paid out over up to three installments, every 6 months.
