In 2016, a worker must earn $1,260 to earn one work credit. In order to qualify for Social Security Disability benefits, you will generally need to have earned a total of 20 work credits, although there are age exceptions to this rule.
And how many do you need to qualify for Social Security benefits? A. Basically, Social Security credits are accounting units that you earn when you work and pay Social Security taxes. In 2015, you get one credit for every $1,220 that you earn in wages. By earning $4,880, you get four credits, which is the maximum you can receive in one year.
