I am planning pretty far out and cant find answers. I am currently age 53. FERs Disability retired Nov 2018, and was approved for SSDI early 2019. Went through the 60% and and currently 40% reduction, and my pay has been steady since. But I am looking for what exactly happens when I turn 62. I know my SSDI turns into regular SS. I know my FERS disability turns into regular retirement, which all the time worked prior and including the disability retirement time= will be 21 yrs 8 months x 1.1 x high 3... but I am curious and CANNOT find any internet answers to my curiosity, are both full amounts with NO off setting ? It seems crazy not to find information online validating what I think is true..

I’m no expert, but my understanding is that once you are on regular FERS retirement there is no longer an offset for any SS payments received. Just as a typical retiree can draw both FERS and SS, we can draw both FERS (standard) and SSDI. |
