How does Social Security work?

• When you work, you pay taxes into Social Security.

• The Social Security Administration uses your tax money to pay benefits to people right now.

• Any unused money goes into Social Security trust funds and is borrowed by the government to pay for other programs.

• Later on when you retire, you receive benefits.

How to qualify for retirement benefits

When you work and pay Social Security taxes, you earn credits toward benefits. The number of credits you need to earn retirement benefits depends on when you were born.

• If you were born in 1929 or later, you need 40 credits (10 years of work) to receive retirement benefits

• You receive one credit for each $1,730 of earnings in 2024

• 4 credits maximum per year

Did you know you can check your benefits status before you retire?

• You can check online by creating a my Social Security account on the SSA website. If you don’t have an account, you’ll be mailed a paper Social Security statement 3 months before your 61st birthday.

• It shows your year-by-year earnings, and estimates of retirement, survivors and disability benefits you and your family may be able to receive now and in the future.

• If it doesn’t show earnings from a state or local government employer, contact them. The work may not be covered within Social Security.
