If you have additional earnings recorded, we will check to see if it increases your monthly benefit. If they do, we'll send you a letter alerting you to your new benefit amount.
I'd like to know if there is a minimum of credits my spouse need to provide in order to be eligible for the Social Security benefits?
That would depend on worker's age when it dies. For social Security benefits, it won't be necessary more than 40 credits or 10 years of work to be eligible.
