You typically start receiving benefits as soon as your claim is approved. This can happen in as little as three months, though it can take a year or longer. Once your claim is approved, you will receive back benefits, minus our attorney fee.

For Social Security Disability claims, your back benefits will begin from the date you became disabled. For Supplemental Security Income claims, your benefits will begin from the date of your initial application.

From the beginning of the process to final approval, Chihak & Gustad will be with you. We will track your claim, follow up with the Social Security Administration, and keep you informed of developments in your case.

Our goal will be to get you the benefits you need and deserve.
