One question we hear a lot is?How much Social security credit is needed for people to qualify for old-age or survivors benefits? Here is not only the answer, but it's news. The Social Security Act was changed in 1960 and thp amount of work covered by the program needed by workers now reaching or past retirement age, or who have died, is less than it was. Under the old law. the worker needed social security equal to one year of work for ech two years after 1950 and before he died or reached retirement age. The new law, however, specifies that this worker now needs social security credit equal to onlv one year for each three years after 1950 and up to the year he i reaches retirement age or ; dies. Under the old and the new law, the social security credit needed can be earned i anytime alter lO.iO no one needs credit for more than 10 years' work, and a minimum of a year and a half of work under social security is always required. ? Because of the new law, 5 many people who have had their claims for old-age or survivors benefits rejected because of lack of sufficient work credit, may now be I. eligible. For instance, all workers who reached retire t ment age (ha for men, 62 for i women) before 1957 need r) credit for only 1 '2 years of work under social security to 1 be eligible. Under the old law, onlv people who reached retirement age before July 1954 could qualify with credit for only 112 years of work. People who have had an ap1 plication for benefits turned down, or who have failed to apply or report because of in? sufficient social security " credit should get in touch ! again with the social security el office. They may now qualify " for benefits.
