Do I Need To Do Anything At Age 65 If I'm Getting Disbility Benefits?

I am on social security disability but I turn 65 in august. My question is do I have to do anything or does it automatically change over at 65. Do I have to fill out any paperwork ahead of time? Thanks



Hi,

Nothing will change when you turn 65. When you reach full retirement age (FRA) at age 66, your disability benefits will convert to retirement benefits at the same rate. No action on your part is required with regard to this conversion.

Best, Jerry
