Hello there. Could you answer some questions about my social security credits, please? I don't quite understand them.
Of course. You must earn at least 40 Social Security credits to qualify for Social Security benefits. You earn Social Security credits when you work and pay Social Security taxes.
================
I see. How exactly are credits earned?
Do you work and pay Social Security taxes?
Yes, of course.
In that case you earn up to a maximum of four credits per year.
================
What requirements do I need to fulfill to be eligible for disability benefits?
To be eligible, you must meet a recent work test and a duration work test.
What about blindness? How am I supposed to do the recent work test?
In that case there is not a recent work test requirement.
================
Alright, good to know. And how many credits do I need for retirement?
Were you born after 1928?
No, why?
