Here is what the SS calculator gives me. I worked form 1964 to 2003. Some was part time due to a auto crash that disabled me, but I worked until I could no longer function, fool that I was!

Assumed earnings from 1966 through 2005. Your estimated number of credits, 12, is insufficient to receive benefits at age 62.
So...all that work, 40 plus years raising my kids alone with not one cent of government money or help, no child support....I get NOTHING.....
BUT, if I were an elderly ILLEGAL ALIEN in California, I could get over a thousand $$ a month! (you can see that here.....http://towncriernews.blogspot.com/search?q=why+is+california+broke)
So the problem is you don’t have enough credits overall to be vested. I think you will qualify for something when you turn 65, but it won’t be regular SS. Don’t lose hope. I’ll have to look into it later when I have time.
You’re in my prayers... all the programs we created t.o help each other have been turned into scams to ‘protect (buy) democrat victim group members.
When Trump says ‘America First’ we GET IT...
