I was approved to get SSD in Jan. started getting Mo. checks in March. Got a small payout from SSI. Get medicare in Oct. all is good right? Well I was approved for backpay from Oct. of 09. The scary part for me is that I haven't seen any of that money yet. Should have got it 3 mo. ago. With the economy the way it is I am a little concerned to say the least. i have also read some horror stories online of people waiting for very long periods of time. (years)! Anyone else in this boat? Or has been? appreciate any thoughts on the matter.

Don't get me wrong...I am greatful I know there a lot of people out there who have been waiting for approval. I had gotten SSD for a few mo. back in 1984 so I have had an open case all this time. Which made my determination much easier.

thanks...............................
