Social Security Question

[LADavid]

Hi All

Since I have the patience of a kid on Christmas morning, I just have to know something.  Jim already got back to me on this and said it sounds good.

This is really a question for those of you who have been approved for Disability.  Yesterday I got a letter from the SSA.    It gave me a temporary password for my account to use to create a permanent password before Oct 6.  It went on to say, if you are a new beneficiary, please wait to create your password until you have received notice of your benefit payment.

Does this mean I've been approved and I'm just waiting on a notice of benefit payment?  Did this happen to any of you who recently were approved for disability?

David -

as K suggested, I'd ask the Captain - she's bound to know since she just finished her SSA saga recently. 

My vote is yes, they've approved you, but I'm only basing that on what you just told us.

Here's hoping I'm right

David,

You should get a letter in a day or so telling you when to expect your first check (the BIG ONE).  I received the information you got about a day or two before the decision on my case was reversed in my favor.  I also received the letter from my attorney the day after the one from SSD.  Congratualtions!!  Your checks come acccording to when your birthday is.  Mine is on the twelfth of the month so I receive my deposit on the third Wednesday of each month.

Wow, David, sounds like Brendalu is the bearing of wonderful news this morning!

I remembered that Captn Deb fought the "bad guys" and finally won, but I forgot about Brendalu - no offense, Brendalu 

Sounds like a major happy dance is in your immediate future - not to mention a toast with an alcoholic beverage

Thanks, K, Jan and Brendalu!  I haven't popped the champagne cork just yet.  But yesterday, I peeked at my account.  It gave my payment amount (the full amount that I am entitled to), the day the deposit will be made (the fourth Wednesday of the month -- my birthday is the 27th of the month), and under status, it said a benefit letter and a SSI payment was being mailed out.  It sounds like a done deal.  But until I see that letter, I'm holding on that celebration.  But once I get that letter....

But once I get that letter....

Sounds a little like Publisher's Clearinghouse, but even better cuz it's not a hoax

Let us know when it arrives so we can pop those corks right along with you

Yes, it does sound like a done deal. Cool!

David,

Do you receive mail on Saturday?  In Canada, well in Ontario we only have mail delivery Mon-Fri.  Our postal service is a "Crown Corporation". 

Here's an interesting tidbit, tomorrow our Prime Minister is meeting with the Governor General to dissolve parliament and the Federal election is scheduled for Oct 14 of this year.  Amazing consider how you our neighbours to the south have been campaigning for the last year and your election isn't until Nov.  I must say your election process is much more entertaining and expensive than ours.  I guess we Canadians are truly boring

Well now back to the issue at hand, way to go David, I'm so happy you are receiving Social Secuity

No mail today    Major bummer 

Guess we'll just have to put the party on hold until Monday.

Keep the faith, David, we're all behind you.
