Hi Lana, I'm sorry for your loss. It's actually pretty common for back pay and regular monthly payments to come separately - the SSA often processes them on different timelines. Back pay can sometimes take a few extra weeks or even months to arrive after your first regular payment. If it's been more than 60 days since you were approved, you might want to call the SSA at 1-800-772-1213 to check on the status. They can tell you exactly when the back pay was processed and when to expect it. Hope this helps!
