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.
I heard that everyone gets some amount of backpay from Social Security. Back pay (past due benefits) are paid out in just about every single disability case. This is true for this reason: Social Security Disability cases, from start to finish, can take take two years, or longer, to finish. During that time, the meter is running, so to speak, and you are entitled to receive monthly payments from when you first applied for disability benefits.
