Social Security Information
BY CHESTER V.
Field representative of the Billings Social Security Office

Most Of us think of a quarter as
a silver coin worth one-fourth of
a dollar. However, a social secur-
ity quarter" can be worth far
more to you and your family than
twenty-five cents!
Social security uses the term
quarter" in counting the work
credits that you need to receive
social security benefits.
To get social security payments
for yourself or your family, you
must have credit for a certain
amount of work under social Sc
curity. These credits are called
quarters of coverage.
Generally, a social security
quarter is the work credit you re-
ceive for one-fourth of a years
work under social security. Most
people who work for someone
else get one quarter credit for
each calendar quarter of the year
in which they are paid total wages
of $4,000 or more. Steadily en-
ployed persons usually arm four
quarters of credit in each year.
If you work for yourself, you
get social security credit for four
quarters for each year in which
you have a net pOfit of $4,000 or
more.
Most people now reaching re-
tirement age (62 for women, 65
for men) in the first six months
of 1860 need at least 18 quarters
or four and one hall years of
work credits under social security.
