I've only worked 2 years in my life with minimum wage jobs...will I be eligible for social security benefits?
|
Yes - Due the fact that you probably do not have enough work work credits, you are do not qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). However, you can apply for Supplemental Social Security Insurance (SSI). Check out

how much do you think I'd be getting?
|
Only SS can tell you. However, the 2 years you were working you should have been receiving the Social Security Benefit statement booklet. You usually receive it around your birthday.
