There are or were regulations on who was eligible to draw disability benefits from soc sec. My first wife only worked 5 yrs and became a full time mom, she had a stroke and declared unemplyable, BUT she didn't qualify because she didn't have enough quarters.She got two checks, and we were required to return them. Of course that was before the illegal immigrants were brought here. I was never a sarah fan, still aint.But I'd enjoy her running for the presidents job, more chuckles would be coming.

My wife also worked for a few years and when she passed at the age of 39 I applied for SS for my 12 year old daughter. I do was denied because she was one quarter short of being eligible. I've been paying in to it since I was 15 and I'm 52 now. I'm supposed to be able to collect it when I turn 66 for full benefits. I was told that if you collect it at 65 you lose 25%. 14 more years seems like a long time. I'm just thankful that I'm not relying on it because it may not be there.
