I'll bare all here, looking for answers regarding Social Security benefits I may, OR may not be entitled to because of my work history.
For past 30 years of so I've pretty much lived off my family OR worked a number of freelance jobs which I did not declare [not BIG numbers}. Prior to that I held pretty normal type young person jobs, some low paying, some pretty good pay, all "above board". For the most part doing things "by the book" so there is some documented track record for those times which would qualify for benefits.
In a couple years I'll be eligible for SS benefits. Given this very brief declaration of my work history, what will likely happen when I face the grim reaper of scrutiny by the SSA? And or, regardless of my history, what entitlement if any I may have?
If someone out there who understands and can identify with my situation either thru direct or professional experience can shed some light it would be appreciated. If not sure yourself and only have ideas, then a referral to someone who understands current due process well would be greatly appreciated!
