When receiving ssid and you reach the age of 62 is it mandatory that you switch to retirement

Hi. If by SSID you're referring to Social Security disability (SSDI) benefits, then the answer to your question is no. No action is required when you reach age 62 if you're drawing SSDI benefits. SSDI benefits automatically convert to regular Social Security retirement benefits at the same rate when you the recipient reaches their full retirement age (FRA).

However, people who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) must file for any Social Security benefits for which they're eligible as soon as they meet the requirements. So, if a person is drawing SSI and they become eligible for Social Security retirement benefits when they reach age 62, they must claim those benefits or else their SSI benefit payments will stop.
