thanks ahead of time and sorry for confusion on my post.

Depends on how old you are and how much you made when you were working and how many zero years you have in the recent past.
If you are over 31 and have worked continuously in the last 10 years and earned 4 credits every year from paying FICA taxes, then date last insured (DLI) would be about five years after you stopped working.
Filing date and DLI and onset date all work together to determine eligibility.
Probably should talk to your local office who can look at your earnings record.
