Hey there, Jael- here's what Chat GPT has to say:

"You generally cannot receive full Social Security retirement benefits and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits simultaneously. However, there are a few key scenarios to understand:

Transition from SSDI to Retirement Benefits:
If you are receiving SSDI and reach your full retirement age (FRA), your SSDI benefits will automatically convert to Social Security retirement benefits. The amount remains the same, but it is now categorized as retirement income rather than disability income.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Retirement Benefits:
It is possible to receive SSI (a needs-based program for low-income individuals) and Social Security retirement benefits if you meet the income and asset requirements for SSI.

Concurrent Benefits from SSI and SSDI:
If your SSDI payment is low, you may qualify for SSI to supplement your income. This is more common when SSDI payments are based on a limited work history or low lifetime earnings."

I was on SSDI starting in 2017 at 59 when Diagnosed with COPD. Nothing has changed for me, I still get my SSI and Medicare along with my V.A. Disability

You stay on ssdi until you reach retirement age then you are swirched to ss

Oh well, even I might be tempted to triple dip!!😇

Must say here that I do not 'double dip' or cheat anybody in any way. That isn't how I'm wired. I know John was teasing about that.
