,When does a person become eligible for Social Security benefits? -
answer After she's worked 40 quarters (think 40 hour work week)
Social Security eligibility is based on credits that taxpayers earn by
working. Individuals become eligible for Social Security benefits if
they have earned 40 credits. Taxpayers can earn up to four credits
for every year they work (i.e., one per quarter) and taxpayers
become eligible by earning 40 credits. If an individual is earning the
maximum credits per year, she can become eligible after 10 years (4
credits per year x 10 years = 40 credits). Be careful, even if a
person has earned enough credits, she cannot take benefits until
she turns age 62.

following? - answer Industrial stocks in an expanding economy

In a newspaper published in State A, but with more than two-thirds
of its circulation outside the state in the last year - answer I only
Generally, an Administrator will have jurisdiction over any offer if it

treatment on the individual's tax return.

paid by the partners if the business reports a profit.
