user: Hello there. I'm interested in knowing about some benefits for my family, please.[NEWLINE]agent: Are you going to start receiving social security retirement benefits?[NEWLINE]user: No, not yet, but i'm interested into knowing about the matter.[NEWLINE]agent: Unfortunately, no relevant information is found.[NEWLINE][BOUNDARY][NEWLINE]user: For example, what would happen if any of my family members apply for benefits along me?[NEWLINE]agent: Well, that is perfectly possible, and in that case we'll ask for your familiar's SS numbers and their birth certificates.[NEWLINE]user: Another thing to consider is self-employment income. Another question  is the labor credit set in stone or does it fluctuate?[NEWLINE]agent: The amount needed for a work credit changes from year to year. In 2019, for example, you earn one credit for every $ 1,360 in wages or self-employment income.[NEWLINE][BOUNDARY][NEWLINE]user: I see, another question about the retirement benefits for my family, what would be the amount they would receive?[NEWLINE]agent: Well, taking your spouse as example, after effectively qualify, your spouse would receive a monthly payment of up to one half of your full retirement benefit amount. Best of all, those payments won't affect your retirement benefit.[NEWLINE][BOUNDARY][NEWLINE]user: I understand perfectly now I feel calmer another question that I have is. What other documents will you ask for?[NEWLINE]agent: We may ask you to provide certain documents to show that you are eligible and help us decide how much your benefits should be[NEWLINE][BOUNDARY][NEWLINE]user: Okay. Now, I'd like to ask you regarding my spouse if she qualifies for the benefits on her own record, will she receive additional benefits on my record?[NEWLINE]agent: Ok. If that's the case and your spouse qualify by own record, we'll pay that amount first, and then the other ones.[NEWLINE][BOUNDARY][NEWLINE]user: And another question, please. Will those spouse benefits decrease my own retirement benefits?[NEWLINE]agent: Not at all. I can tell you, that you could find the amount your spouse will receive very useful, because it could help you to decide if you want to take your benefits earlier.[NEWLINE][BOUNDARY][NEWLINE]user: Umm, that sounds tempting, i'll have to think about it. Wanna check something, please. You said before that if my spouse gets qualified on its own record, you would pay that amount first, isn't?
