When Do Disability Benefits Convert To Retirement Benefits?
I have been on disability from Social Security for a little over three years and they put me on medicare benefits because of it. Is that the same as being on full retirement or will that convert over to retirement when I am at fra? I am 63 now
Hi,
Your disability benefits will convert to retirement benefits when you reach full retirement age (FRA), which is age 66 in your case. You will likely see no change in benefits at that point.
Medicare eligibility begins after 2 years of disability entitlement, regardless of the person's age at that time.
Best, Jerry
