hello everyone,
this is my first post on this wonderful site, I am sure I am in wrong category, but thats ok, maybe some one will pont me the correct direction.
my question is this....I retired from my job at age 47 ( sept 2012), I worked full time for 18years with this company based in ohio, will I be able to claim SS when I am 62??? I read that you need 10 years full time working with 40 credits to be able to apply for SS.(not sure if this information is necessary but I was earning on average $60,000 per year)
I also worked 7 years in canada and 2 years in UK...I dont think that is going to make any impact on mu USA ss.
I was just thinking about this today, not too sure what the rules are, but I am thinking I have paid into SS for 18years,hopefully I will recieve something, even if its a small amount later on down the road...just curious???
I love this site, and have enjoyed reading the tips .
I am loving my new life, I saved very,very hard for almost 27 years, I feel so blessed, my husband is still working he is 49, he plans on retiring at age 55, thanks you for any information.
