Gr8 thread! I'm handicap (spinal chord injury). B4 my injury I did not pay in for a few years when I started my own biz (post construction cleanup and exterior structure cleaning and restoration). I had not put in enuf credits b4 then apparently even tho I worked over 10 years in the service industry and banking. I'm unable to draw SS bc of this and unable to draw SSI bc of farmland I own do not want to put in other people's name. I've consulted 2 major law firms and one local to no avail. My wife and I will be married 10 years this May. She has worked for the state for more than that (collectively) and has paid in for for at least 16 years. Would I be able to claim hers?? Sorry to hijack OP. I just saw that others had answered ur question knowledgeably and thought I'd ask while they were here. Thx in advance for any assistance.
