one thing i've learned about ss....

who here knows how long you must work to qualify for full retirement benefits from ss?




you have to earn 40 credits, and you can earn four a year. so, after a glorious ten year run, you qualify for full bennies. medicare, full ss...after TEN years. that is the first change needed on ss reform. you could graduate, work ten years on the books-and guess what you didn't pay enough to get, but you're going to get anyway?? that my friends is ridiculous.

I didn't think so (but you may be right). Your monthly benefits are pro-rated based upon your lifetime contributions, is my understanding. At least that's what the little paper social security sends me once a year says. Got a link or something?
