How long does it take to get Social Security
It usually takes Social Security Administration (SSA) about six weeks to process your application and begin your benefits.
However, this time period can vary for several reasons.
Your possible benefits delayed if you provide incorrect information in your application.
Another reason could be that the SSA needs additional or updated information from you.
Finally, a large number of applications are submitted to SSA on a daily basis, so you may experience longer processing times than usual.
What you will need to apply
When filling out the Social Security application, you’ll need the following to complete it correctly:
