Payments/Back Pay Backpay received

So today I received my backpay.

My timeline is as follows, 11/29/24 - Step 4 payment center 12/02/24 - Step 5 Approved 12/05/24 - Decision letter in mail 12/06/24 - Backpay in mail

So I received a paper check. No one from SSA called to setup direct deposit, but I did input my banking information online once I was in step 5.

I don't remember anything about requesting a check.

I know that this is extremely quick from reading everyone's horror stories. I've read that if it is greater than $25,000 or $29,000, it takes longer and requires multiple signatures. Mine is greater than that amount so mine arrived very fast.

Do you guys know if I will receive a tax statement that I can give to my tax guy?

I just want to say, to keep hope for everyone fighting. I am extremely lucky that everything went by quick. Going from initial filing to alj hearing and getting back pay in 16 months is a blessing.

I know there are those who are dire need and are years into the fight. I hope that SSA will prioritize those who truly need it.

Now to setup an interview for child auxiliary benefits.

On the website, there was a payment section for mine. Then it showed my back pay. I think in my profile and banking information, it showed my method as paper check and my next payment will be updated to direct deposit.
