Do Disabled Adult Child Benefits Convert To Regular Retirement Benefits When The Recipient Turns 65?
I receive Disabled Adult Child benefits. At age 65, do they 'convert' to regular retirement benefits the way SSDI benefits do?
Thank you.
Hi. No. Disabled adult child's benefits are either a survivor or auxiliary benefit based on a parent's earnings history. Social Security disability (SSDI) and retirement benefits are both based on the disabled/retired worker's own earnings history, and SSDI benefits convert to Social Security retirement benefits when the recipient reaches full retirement age (FRA).
Best, Jerry
