Can I Collect My Social Security Now?
Can I collect my social security, I'm disabled 55 years old and got denied for disability
Hi,
No. The only way that you can collect Social Security benefits based on your own work record prior to age 62 is if you qualify for disability benefits (SSDI). If you have an impairment that prevents you from working, you may want to consider filing an appeal (https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10041.pdf) on the disallowance of your SSDI claim or reapply.
Best, Jerry
