How long can you receive Social Security disability benefits ?There are many factors that affect entitlement to a Social Security disability benefit, such as work activity or other indications of medical improvement. Periodically your disability claim will be reviewed to determine if your medical conditions have improved. If they have not improved and no other changes have occurred, you will receive a medical continuance (you will continue to receive disability monthly benefits). Remember, work activity will be reviewed at the time of your medical review or any other time Social Security has questions about earnings. These earnings reports may be earnings that have been reported to your record by the Internal Revenue Service or work activity that you have reported to the Social Security Administration. If you are never able to return to work due to your medical conditions or Social Security has never determined that your conditions have improved, you will receive your disability benefit until your full retirement age. Once you are at full retirement age, your disability benefit will automatically convert to a Social Security retirement benefit. Your benefit will become subject to retirement rules not disability rules, which may mean that you will have different earnings restrictions. Please contact your local Social Security office to obtain information about retirement benefits. For more information on: Social Security Disability and SSI Disability.
