Answer 4

You have to have 40 unit of coverage for Social Security or Medicare benefits.  If you worked at a job not covered by Social Security, federal civil service or teaching, you will be covered by Medicare.  If you did not work--stay at home mom--you are entitled to half your spouse's benefit while he or she is alive then all of it if you are the last survivor.
