Question

In 2021, Carla was making $15 per hour and worked 20 hours per week for 25

weeks. How many Social Security credits did she earn?

Answer 1

Approximately 42 credits

Explanation:

First you need to find the amount she makes for one week. Multiply 15 by 20: $375.00

Second find how much she makes for those 25 weeks: 375*25: 65,625

Third according to socialsecurityintelligence.com, in 2021, one credit for each $1,470 of earnings. To a maximum of 4 credit per year.

So for a year she earned 4 credits but not considering the limit, she earned 42.85 credits.
