YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY CREDITS
To qualify for Social Security benefits and Medicare, you need credit for a certain amount of work covered by Social Security. The number of credits you need will vary with the type of benefit. Under current law, you do not need more than 40 credits to qualify for any benefit or for Medicare.
Our review of your earnings, including any 1996 and 1997 earnings you told us about, shows that you now have at least 34 Social Security credits.
 
YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY EARNINGS
The chart on the next page shows the earnings on your Social Security record. It also estimates the amount of Social Security taxes you paid each year to finance benefits under Social Security and Medicare. If you have government earnings that help you qualify for Medicare, those earnings are also included on the chart under the heading "Medicare-Your Taxed Earnings."
We show earnings only up to the maximum yearly amount covered by Social Security. These maximum amounts are shown on the chart. The chart may not include some or all of your earnings from last year because they may not have been added to your record yet.
