Disability benefits turn to regular social security after age 65 (I believe, it may be 67 now). I think that's what they meant, you aged out, instead of "you're too old". You can still try Medicaid, it depends on your income. But if you are getting social security you should be getting Medicare, and you can sign up for an Advantage plan, or any others that may suit your situation best. Advantage plans work better than many supplemental plans, and also some include prescriptions for a certain co-pay. Do your research, and get the help of a reputable person (preferably not an insurance salesperson) to help guide you through. I hope this has helped.🙏🌞🌻

Assuming you are referring to Social Security Disability, one does not qualify once they have reached their Full Retirement Age (the age at which they are eligible for 100% of their Social Security benefit). Think of SSDI as an advance of your Social Security benefit due to an inability to work because of disability).
