How soon after applying will I be eligible for benefits from the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program?
There is no waiting period for Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Benefits start at the date the application process began with Social Security or the date the disability began, whichever is later. Processing the SSI claim should take between 1-6 months if all required documentation is provided. When a claim is denied by Social Security and an appeal is filed, the SSI claim process can take longer.
