Social Security Work Credits

To qualify for Social Security retirement or disability benefits, you need to earn work credits. In 2026, you earn one credit for every $1,730 in covered earnings, up to a maximum of 4 credits per year. Most people need 40 credits (10 years of work) to qualify for retirement benefits. Paystubs help document your earning history.

For 2026, the SGA limit is approximately $1,550/month. Income documentation is essential for proving your work history.
