Will I Get A Raise When I Turn 65?

I have been getting Social Security and Medicare since 2000 because of ESRD (kidney disease) i'll be 65 in December 2020. Am i eligible for any upgrade/raise because i'm turning 65?

Hi,

Turning 65 wouldn't have any effect on your Social Security disability benefit rate, and your Medicare premium amount won't change unless you've been paying a higher than standard premium rate due to a late enrollment.

Best, Jerry
