  • How Long Will It Take to Get Paid After You’re Approved for Social Security Disability? (Remastered)

    How Long Will It Take to Get Paid After You’re Approved for Social Security Disability? (Remastered)
    2025/11/20
    Once you’re approved for Social Security Disability benefits, the next question is almost always the same: “So when will I get my money?” In this remastered episode, originally recorded in 2017, I break down what really happens behind the scenes after Social Security approves your case—and why payment timelines can vary so widely from person to person.
    You’ll learn:
    • Why SSA must calculate your benefit amount and backpay before anything is released
    • How offsets like federal debts, student loans, or child support can affect what you receive
    • When a representative payee or a payment center can slow down the process
    • Why comparing your timeline to friends or family will almost always mislead you
    • What steps you can take if you feel your case is taking too long

    Whether you’re newly approved or helping someone navigate the process, this episode gives you the clear, practical insight you need to understand the payment process.

    [Remastered] What Should I Do Next If I’m Denied by a Judge? | Understanding Your Social Security Appeal Options
    2025/11/12
    In this remastered edition of one of my original Q&A: Social Security Disability Today episodes (originally released on July 17, 2013), I revisit one of the most common and emotional questions people face: 👉 “What should I do next if I’ve been denied by a judge?”

    If your Social Security Disability claim has been denied by an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ), you’re standing at a major crossroads — do you start over with a new application, or do you appeal the decision?
    In this episode, I walk you through:
    • The pros and cons of starting a new claim
    • What to expect when filing an appeal to the Appeals Council
    • Why Appeals Council approvals are rare
    • The difference between legal error and disagreement with the judge’s decision
    • When and how to take your case to Federal Court
    • How to keep your case alive while waiting for a ruling


    This remastered version improves the clarity and sound quality of the original recording while preserving its straightforward, no-nonsense guidance for people navigating the Social Security Disability process.

    2025/11/05
    Q&A: Social Security Disability Today features Attorney Anthony Reeves, Esq. explaining what really happens after your Social Security Disability hearing ends.
    You’ve testified before an Administrative Law Judge, the experts have spoken, and now the waiting begins. What happens behind the scenes while you wait for your decision? How long does it take — and what should you expect next?
    In this episode, Anthony breaks down:
    • Why the judge’s estimated timeline is just an approximation
    • What happens if the judge requests additional medical evidence
    • How your representative can track your case status
    • What each post-hearing status means (Post, Post Hearing Review, Pending Decision Writer, Decision Writer)
    • Why patience is essential — and why you shouldn’t assume the timing reflects your outcome
    • The importance of the written decision for both payment and appeal rights

    This timeless discussion still applies today — giving listeners a clear understanding of how the disability process works once the hearing is over.

    In this remastered legacy episode, I revisit one of my earliest and most meaningful recordings — “How Do I Survive the Disability Process?”

    More than a decade ago, I created this conversation to speak directly to those struggling through the long and often frustrating journey of applying for Social Security Disability benefits. The truth is, the process can be overwhelming — emotionally, financially, and mentally. But with the right mindset and preparation, you can make it through.

    In this special edition, I walk you through 12 key steps designed to help you stay grounded and proactive while you wait — from managing your expectations and organizing your resources, to keeping SSA updated and reaching out for community support when needed.

    Even though this episode was first recorded in 2013, the advice still holds true today. Whether you’re applying for the first time or stuck waiting for an appeal, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and practical survival strategies.

    🔊 This is remastered legacy content from my early YouTube series, part of my continuing effort to preserve and share timeless insights for those navigating the Social Security Disability system.
