Chapter 4 - What Happens to My Disability Annuity When I Attain Full Retirement Age?

 

Your disability annuity will end the last day of the month before the month in which you attain full retirement age (FRA). This will happen automatically and there is no action you need to take for this to occur. The law provides that upon your attainment of FRA and the termination of your entitlement to a disability annuity, you are deemed to have filed an application for an age and service annuity. Your disability annuity will automatically be converted to an annuity based on age and service and your benefit payments will continue.
