With an onset of 2/12/12, the waiting pd is 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and the date of entitlement will be 08/12. The 08/12 benefit is paid in 09/12, the exact date depending on the day of the month you were born. So you have to wait awhile. Some people are able to qualify for SSI in the interim if they have low income and resources otherwise. Did you also apply for SSI? If you did your local office s/b contacting you shortly to see about getting that started.
