Understanding Social Security Insurability and Benefits
G W Spencer of the Rockford Social Security office warned that a year and a half of covered work does not guarantee benefits. Insurability depends on birth date and continuous covered employment at least every two years after 1950, with credits from pre 1951 work combining with post 1950 credits. The monthly benefit average includes all years after 1950 from age 21 to 65, not just years of covered work.
