In an interview situation when is it appropriate to ask questions about benefits and salary?

I'd avoid it, but if you feel you have to, wait until the end, when they ask you if you have any questions. (If they don't, just drop it, you can ask later if you get hired)

Just to add, you should ask if they don't tell you, because what if you are seeking a certain pay? What if they don't have benefits to offer?
It's nice to know these things before you accept the job.

If this a "high powered" job, say one where you will be working in a office and having to wear a business suit, I would not ask about salary and benefits in the first interview. Office jobs with say, physicians, banks or lawyers office, often conduct FIRST interviews, then call in the people they liked for 2ND interviews. In cases like this, is it only proper to bring up salary and benefits in the 2nd interview. Do you know if the company will be conducting 2nd interviews. They may give you a clue when they meet you by saying, "this is just a first interview". If that is the case, I would not bring up salary and benefits. If you get called in for a second interview, that is GOOD,and I am sure that they will bring it up in the 2nd, but even if they don't, it is OK for you to do that.

I agree with the answer below. It seems to fall best at the end of the interview, particularly since at the beginning they ususally want to get the feel that you are interested in working for their company (for reasons other than money).
In my experience though, I have almost never had to bring it up. Usually, after the interview had neared conclusion, they brought it up. Be prepared though (depending on what kind of job we are talking about) to get the question "how much do you expect to be paid?". Personally, I hate that question more than anything.
Good luck.

Normally at the end of an interveiw, Or anytime in between when the interviewer pauses and ask you do you have any questions.
I would choose the end of the interview. The reason why is because they've said all they've had to say. They could bring it up while giving the interview and it would be rude to beat them to the punch. But if they dont, thats when you bring it up at the end.
