We have considered your application for Social Security retirement benefits. You are not entitled to benefits now because you have not worked long enough under Social Security.

 

Why we can not pay you

To get benefits, you need to have a certain amount of work credits under Social Security. We explain how these credits are earned and how many a person needs in the enclosed pamphlet, “How You Earn Social Security Credits.”

Using the date of birth you gave us, you need (1) credits. You have only (2) credits. You should apply again if you earn the additional credits you need.
