Will My Benefit Rate Change When I Turn 62?

I will be 62 in December i receive SSDI know will my benefit change.

Hi. No. Your Social Security disability (SSDI) benefits will automatically convert to regular Social Security retirement benefits when you reach your full retirement age (FRA), which would be age 66 & 10 months if you were born in 1959. Your benefit rate won't change when that conversion happens.

Best, Jerry
