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.
You may be able to receive a decision on your disability in a matter of weeks rather than waiting for months or years. You will be able to get backpay of your SSDI benefits for up to a year prior to your application date. SSI backpay can only be accrued as of the month after you apply. This is a reason to apply as soon as your medical problem is eligible. Social Security may accept your medical records or require you to get an exam or tests.
