I'm on Disability Benefits, Do I Have to Take Retirement Benefits?
I am turning 65 in August, but have been on SS Disability for three years. I taught High School for 39 years. Do I have to take my retirement and regular SS at 65 ? Which would be more lucrative for me?
Olivia,
Your disability benefit automatically converts to a regular retirement benefit at your full retirement age of 66. It will be exactly the same amount as your disability benefit.
Best,
Mike
