Never Worked? You May Still Be Entitled to Social Security Retirement Benefits
Social Security retirement benefits are often referred to as "earned benefits." That's because you pay payroll taxes that fund Social Security and earn work credits that entitle you to this retirement income. The amount you receive is also based on average wages over your career.
But what about people who never had a job outside of the home? Can they still get Social Security benefits even if they didn't receive a paycheck? The answer may surprise you.
