Can you receive SDDI at 65?

Can you receive Social Security disability when you are 65 or older? It depends on your full retirement age. If your full retirement age is 65 you would no longer qualify for Social Security disability income (SSDI) benefits as of your 65th birthday. If, however, your full retirement age is 66 or 67, you can continue to receive benefits until you reach the applicable age. If you are receiving SSDI when you turn the applicable age your benefits will automatically be converted to retirement benefits. To determine your full retirement age, go to www.SSA.gov and use their “Retirement Age Calculator.”
