My little obsession on social security disability
If you are not disabled, you can get anywhere from 71 to 99 percent of your spouse's benefits before you reach retirement, as long as you are 60 years old or older. Q: I am receiving social security disability but I want to apply for SS retirement. A: Generally, if you receive social security disability benefits, those benefits will be transferred to retirement benefits upon reaching retirement age. For most recipients, this conversion requires little or no effort. Consult the Social Security Administration or talk to a lawyer for information about transferring from social security disability to retirement.
