How many quarters do you have to pay in, to get social security?

 

Will social security offices help people with questions like this? If so, is it best to call them, email them or go see them in person?

    To be eligible for Social Security retirement benefits, a worker born after 1928 must have accumulated at least 40 quarters of work in "covered employment". A "quarter of coverage" generally means the three-month calendar quarter. In addition, you must earn at least $1,320 in a quarter (in 2019) for it to count.
