I'm in Suffolk County NY and it took a month from the time I won my hearing till the time I received all my back payments. When I called, they told me it usually takes 7 to 10 business days, but someone forgot to flip the switch, so to speak, on my account; they were shocked when I called again and realized 18 weeks worth was still sitting waiting to be released to me even though my claim was marked approved. So keep on top of them if more than a couple of weeks passes.
