Work Credits

Categories: Legal,

To receive any kind of social security benefit -- retirement, disability, dependents, or survivors -- the person on whose record the benefit is to be calculated must have accumulated enough work credits. A person can earn up to four work credits per year, and anyone who works full time, even at a very low-paying job, easily accumulates them. Ask the social security administration for a copy of your social security statement to see how many work credits you have accumulated.
