Corrie – SSI can not be paid for any month prior to the date of application. Title II disability can be paid up to one year prior to the application date. This is why I generally advise prospective clients to apply sooner rather than later – there is usually very little reason to wait to apply.

Your local office is correct – SSI can only be paid as of the date of your application. The judge decides onset issues, but not payment issues.

You answered a question of mine in December of 2006 regarding part time work.

I was represented by Ron Miller of The Disability Group, and as of April 18, 2008 I received a fully favorable OTR decision for SSI aand SSDI concurrently from date of onset.

I have a question about payment of SSI. When I went to the Soc Sec office to update some information, and I was told that SSI can only be paid from the date of filing.

That would contradict the judge's decision of concurrent payments for SSI/SSDI would it not? I filed in January of 2006; date of onset was 11/11/05.
