Your Questions, SS Answers<br />
Question: How long must I<br />
work to become eligible for retirement<br />
benefits?<br />
Answer: Most people need 40<br />
Social Security “credits” to be eligible.<br />
You can earn up to four<br />
credits per year. In most cases,<br />
you need at least 10 years to be eligible<br />
for retirement. During your<br />
working years, you earn credits<br />
based on earnings. The amount of<br />
earnings needed to earn one<br />
credit rises as average earnings<br />
levels rise. In 2012 and 2013, you<br />
receive one credit for each $1,160<br />
of earnings, up to the maximum<br />
of four credits per year.<br />
If you become disabled or die<br />
before age 62, the number of credits<br />
you need depends on your age<br />
at the time you become disabled<br />
or die. You must have a minimum<br />
of six credits, regardless of your<br />
age. Retire online at www.socialsecurity.gov.<br />
