I have 3 questions:
1. Does a person who is a citizen but has never worked get a social security check after a certain age?

2. If yes, then what age is that and how much do they get?

3.What if someone has worked but just for a few months, do they get the benefit?

Thanks.

1. No. You have to have paid into the Social Security system via FICA taxes.

2. If someone is age 65 and meets other requirements, he/she will be eligible for SSI aged benefits, but no Social Security Retirement.

3. Yes. Depending on how much he/she paid in FICA taxes.

Whether you get a check, what amount you get and when is determined by your work history. IF you have never worked, you have never paid into the system and would not collect. However, if you were married and your husband worked, you would collect from HIS social security.

You would be better off calling the Social Security people with your questions. Their number is toll-free and is in your phone book.

A Person recieveing Social Security benefits must have worked a total of 40 quarters. (10 years). The exception to that, would be a wife recieveing her husbands social security after his death, wives may do that and most do as mens social security earnings during a lifetime are usualy higher.

If a person has never worked but is married to someone who worked and contributed to Social Security, the non-working spouse can be entitled to spousal benefits, which is a percentage of the working spouse's earned benefits.

the 1st 3 digits of your SSN could desire to journey the 1st 3 numbers of the zip code the place you acquire your SSN. the subsequent 2 are numbers given out in blocks. as quickly as I worked as a bouncer we had a chart of while the 4th and 5th numbers have been given out to apply for pretend identity checking (in case you SSN replaced into utilized in 1945 and you declare to be 21 there's a difficulty). If it replaced into in keeping with race this does not have worked. The final 4 digits are in basic terms that 4 digits given out so as. My sister, brothers and that i've got consecutive numbers as my father and mom have been given our SSNs on a similar time. in case you % greater effective evidence my 5th digit is even(i'm white) and my spouse's is strange(she is chinese language).

No, unless their spouse dies and has worked.
If they have kids under 18, pretty immediately. Depends on the spouses income.
No, you have to have paid in x amount of years, I can't remember how many. Go to ssa.gov and it will tell you.

No work...no or little pay. It depends on how much you made working on how much your check will be. And just to let you know.>SS will be gone by the time you grow old enough to apply. I am 44 and there is little doubt that there will be any for me and my husband.

Yes.

65 and it depends on other sources of income, if any.

And, yes.

EDIT:

SSI (Supplemental Security Income) is strictly for the disabled.
