[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 1325090, member: 52978"] Another driver who went thru the process at work told me 60% of the people who apply get denied the first time. Then 60% of the people who re-apply the second time get accepted. I was also told that if you get a lawyer to handle your case, his fee is based upon what your back pay check is. I believe when they do accept you, they go back and pay you 6 months worth of back pay, then your monthly payments start the next calendar month after that. I applied online and it took me like 3 hours to fill out their forms. If they have any questions, they will call you. (they called me twice) twice I went up to the SS place that was handling my case to bring them copies of stuff they required. I could have mailed it or faxed it, but I didn't want to take the chance of it going to the wrong people. They assign you a number to your case so that you can go online to check the status. Mine always said they were still reviewing my case, and they would notify me by mail of their final decision. [/QUOTE]
