Insured Status RequirementsYou must be insured under the Social Security program before retirement, survivors, or disability benefits can be paid to you or your family. We consider the number of quarters of coverage you earned to determine if you are insured. You earn a quarter of coverage (QC)—also called a "credit"—for a certain amount of work covered under Social Security, but you may earn no more than 4 QCs per year. Generally you need to be fully insured to receive Social Security benefits, but other requirements may also apply. Fully Insured
Exceptions: If you were born before 1930, you need at least one QC for each year after 1950. Other exceptions may apply. The minimum number of QCs needed is 6. The maximum number needed is 40. Any year (all or part of a year) that was included in a period of disability is not included in determining the number of QCs you need. Permanently Insured Examples
Disability Insured
Exceptions apply for those under age 31 and in certain other cases. Recommended textbook solutions
