If your claim is granted, this means that The Social Security Administration agrees that you’re disabled. If this is the case, they will do what’s called a “Notice of Award” where they will calculate how much money you’ve paid into social security over the years and give you your insurance status. With that, they will come up with how much compensation you’re entitled to each month. This is done in individual payment centers around the country. Once this has been established, you will usually begin receiving benefits within a month or two following the decision.
