When Will I Begin To Draw Social Security Instead Of Disability?

I am 59 and just began drawing disability social security. At what age will I begin drawing just social security. Do I have to notify anyone or will it just convert to straight social security ?



Hi,

Social Security disability benefits convert to regular Social Security retirement benefits when a person reaches their full retirement age (FRA). In your case, that would be at age 67. You won't need to do anything to initiate the conversion, and the conversion won't cause your benefit rate to change.

Best, Jerry
