Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To earn a quarter of coverage in the Social Security program, an individual must earn a certain amount of covered income. In 2021, $1,470 of covered earnings equals one quarter of coverage, and a maximum of four quarters can be earned in one year. The amount required for a quarter of coverage can change year to year due to changes in the national average wage index. Working 3 months or 4 months or being retired for 3 months does not guarantee eligibility for a quarter of coverage.
