Is there a time limit on Social Security disability benefits?

Question

Is there a time limit on Social Security disability benefits?

Answer

No. Your disability benefits will continue as long as your medical condition has not improved and you cannot work. Your case will be reviewed at regular intervals to make sure you are still disabled.

If you are still receiving disability benefits when you reach full retirement age, they will automatically be converted to retirement benefits.
