Of course. You should know that you must earn at least 40 Social Security credits to qualify for Social Security benefits. You earn Social Security credits when you work and pay Social Security taxes.
I heard about this work test. You see, I'm actually blind, so how is this supposed to work for me?
In that case you must only meet the duration of work test.
Alright. Let's talk about survivors benefits. What if I'm already receiving retirement or disability benefits? Will my wife get those benefits?
If you still pay it at the time of your death, we will pay your survivors based on that entitlement. We will not have to determine your credits again.
You keep talking about those credits. How do I earn them?
Do you work and pay Social Security taxes?
Yes, I currently do.
Then you earn up to a maximum of four credits per year.
And do I need anything else to be eligible for disability benefits?
