How Long Does it Take to Get Approved for SSD Benefits?

The time it takes to get approved for Social Security benefits varies tremendously depending upon the backlog in your located office. For people who are approved without a hearing, it generally will take three to six months. If a hearing becomes necessary, and most people do need to have a hearing before they’re approved for benefits, then it takes much longer. Typically, we’re seeing 18 to 24 months before you get your hearing.
