There are a lot of variables including processing repayment of temporary state (interim) benefits, workers' compensation offset, calculating effect of any incarceration, prior overpayments, etc, etc, etc. Simply put a lot depends on what else SSA has to do other than simply calculate your benefits and get you a check. Even when it is a "simple" case, a lot depends on the case worker processing the benefits. I have seen very quick processing (a couple of weeks) and achingly slow processing (more than 4 months). A "dire need" label does expedite processing considerably. It is often a good idea to get in touch with the case technician at Social Security to 1) verify that the technician is aware of the dire need status, and 2) get an idea of what is needed, so the individual can help provide any missing information. A good working relationship with the case technician can help getting benefits processed faster. Good luck Jeffery and congratulations on the win!
