How much you get in social security if you only worked for 10 years ? Is $1500 a month the minimum ?

This question asks if $1500 is the minimum monthly Social Security benefit someone can receive after working and contributing for 10 years.

It seeks to clarify whether there is a set minimum benefit based on years of work or if the amount varies depending on other factors, such as income earned during those 10 years.

The individual asking is trying to understand how long-term contributions influence the amount they can expect from Social Security, especially in terms of the minimum threshold for someone with 10 years of work history.

Log in to the social security administration page and find out, it’s different depending on income and years contributing.

You suppose to get 40
Credits for your work. I worked less than 35 years (a lot of overtime) and already have 40 credits.

Expect social security to be zero. Don’t even count on a penny and plan accordingly

[Laura]

Forget social security, after yesterdays results you can count it as ZERO

[Pam]

I looked it up, the minimum is $50.90 but you have to work 11 years at least

You know what’s crazy about social security somehow running out. Think about everyone that contributed a lot to it but die early.

What happens to their cut? Mismanagement is crazy

[Pam]

I don’t think there is a minimum. I know a person who only gets $400 a month

I believe my moms is 900 and she barely worked a normal job her whole adult life

Social security website will tell you. I’ve always planned not to receive, but worst case seems to be a be 25% haircut when the “savings” run out.

Congress can cut at any time, but that would kill the economy and people it supports, literally.

[Gina]

it’s based on 35 years of work, so you would have 0 for 25 of those years

I had a job for ~8 years and filled up all but 2 of the rest of my quarters with various summer jobs and such when I was younger.

So, I technically hit 40 quarters despite the fact I am not still in a regular job.

Some of the online calculators suggest I’ll get 1k in todays dollars /3k in future dollars.

personally social security isnt a part of my plan I just plan to hit the last couple quarters at some point so I have access to medcicare when im older and I guess with that if social security isnt gone by then ill get some money from that as well.

There is a social security calculator that tell you the amount you’ll get. My mom works in minimum wages for 40 years. She’s in her 70.

She has to go back to go work. Don’t count on social security alone for retirement.
