The Social Security Retirement benefit is a monthly check that replaces part of your income when you reduce your hours or stop working altogether. It may not replace all your income so it's best to identify other ways to pay for your monthly expenses as you age.
Description: Monthly Social Security benefits go to workers and their dependents when the worker retires, becomes disabled or dies. A worker must earn credits for 40 quarters or 10 years for full retirement benefits.
SSI pays benefits to disabled adults and children who have limited income and resources.
