Greetings and good morning. Please, i would to know when my social security benefit could start?
Has been your application approved yet?
Yes, yes, my application has been approved, that's why i'm asking.
Excellent, and congratulations. Now that you're approved, you should expect your first social security benefit to be paid for the sixth full month after the date we find that your disability began.
Could you give me some example please?
Sure. If you went on disability on February, you would get your first benefit on August. As easy as that.
================
Ok, i see it now. Say, i heard from some people that some government benefits can affect my social security payments, where can i find information about it?
No problem. You can refer yourself to the following publications: How workers compensation and other disability payments may affect your benefit, and Windfall Elimination Provision. There you'll find what you need.
================
Thanks, i'll check them out soon. Please, can you tell me how much i will receive for the benefit?
For that, you better get an estimate. In any case, you can get one logging in your personal My Social Security account or using the benefit calculator so you can determine the amount of your benefit.

What other publications can i use about this topic?
Well, you can use any of the following: Disability Benefits; What you need to know when you get social security disability benefits; and lastly, Other disability publications.
