Will I Receive Retroactive Payments If My Claim Is Approved?

i am 58 years old and I filed for Social Security disability but have not been approved yet. if I reach 62 years old; Will I get retroactive payments for the years that I've been waiting on Social Security disability?

Hi,

Yes, if your disability claim is eventually approved, you'll receive all back pay to which you're entitled.

Best, Jerry
