My entries focused on social security disability
Q: How long can you collect social security benefits through the disability program? A: Your social security benefits will continue until one of the following events occurs. If your condition improves to the point that it allows you to return to work, your social security benefits will be discontinued. If you choose to reenter the workforce, instead of relying on your social security benefits, your benefits would also discontinue. The last scenario in which social security benefits would no longer continue would be if you reach retirement age. You would receive retirement payments, in lieu of disability payments.
