If you have worked in jobs covered by the Social Security Administration<\/strong> (SSA), and your disability lasts for over a year, you may qualify for SSDI benefits<\/strong> in the United States<\/strong>. As a matter of fact, some workers with disabilities may go back to work after surgery, with medical rehabilitation or treatment, and technological breakthroughs that help them get over it.<\/p>\n

Other SSDI<\/strong> recipients may not be able to go back to work due to their medical condition. Therefore, the Social Security Administration<\/strong> will continue delivering Disability Insurance<\/strong> benefits as long as your disability continues. But what happens when you reach Full Retirement Age if you are already collecting disability benefits?<\/p>\n

SSDI recipients who reach Full Retirement Age<\/h2>\n

If you are currently receiving Social Security Disability Insurance<\/strong> and you are about to reach Full Retirement Age, your disability benefits will automatically turn into retirement benefits.<\/p>\n

Do not worry because your SSDI payment<\/strong> will remain the same when it converts to Social Security retirement benefits.<\/strong> What is more, there is an important thing to take into account.<\/p>\n

Those SSDI<\/strong> recipients who are also collecting a reduced surviving spouse benefit must contact SSA when they reach Full Retirement Age<\/strong>. If necessary, the Administration will make any necessary adjustments to your disability benefits.<\/p>\n

As a matter of fact, some SSDI<\/strong> recipients may want to try returning to work without losing Disability benefits<\/strong>. In some cases, it is possible to return to work or even continue working without losing your Social Security Disability Insurance payments<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Anyway, if you choose to start working while on Social Security<\/strong>, it is essential to report it to SSA before you do so. So, ensure you report to the Agency<\/strong> any work activity since it could affect your payment amount and eligibility.<\/p>\n

SSDI<\/strong> beneficiaries who would like to work could take advantage of the “trial work period<\/strong>“. It means you can go back to work for at least nine months and still get your full Disability Insurance<\/strong> payment. Currently, any month you earn more than $1,160<\/strong> before taxes will count towards this trial work period. Great news because there is no limit on how much you get for these 9 months.
