      You should be able to check with your social security number,I think. You get paid once a month. The payment date is determined by your birthday...usually within a week of that number day. My birthday is the 21st, my payday is the 4th Wednesday of each month. I wish I wasmorehelp. I missed out on the perscription D program last year and it is time to sign up now, from the 15th of November until December 31st. That is my goal this week, to find out how I do that. Generally people get it done by their insurance agent when they get supplemental insurance to cover the gap of medicare. I cannot find anyone that will insure me. I'm Bipolar II and I have Lupus. Is their a local Social Security office near you, they will have youin their computer and they are very helpful with info on your payments and their status. Unfortunately, because where I live, my closest office is 72 miles away. The medicare coverage itself cost about $100 a month and they take it directly out of your check. I don't even know the cost of the perscription plan. www.socialsecurity.gov may help answer some of your questions. I signed up so I get all updates automatically emailed to me. I'm still like a one armed wallpaper hanger...FRUSTRATING. I hope this is helpful. Everybody I'm friends with got their SSDI with an attorney. You were fortunate. It cost me just over $5,000.00. oxoxx Sandra

      You should recieve an awards letter. The pay is retroactive to the date of application. I had been trying for nearly 3 years so that is why I got the medicare right away,I guess. It's all so complicated. I had an attorney, however, do you have a Social Security office near you. They will help you if you can't get help over the phone. I'm so happy you've received some money!!!!!!
