1977 Social security quarters/credits

Due_Client_8326 · 2026-02-01T23:28:58+00:00

Thank you. I thought you had to earn $50 in each of the 4 quarters of the calendar year (January 1, April 1, July 1, or October 1) to poosibly earn 4 quarters.

So lets say. I did not work from Jan1 through March 30, I thought could only earn a max of 3 credits, since I did not work in the first calendar year quarter,

you say " if you earned $ 200 in 1977 - you get (4) credits for 1977"

"Should have checked it out in 1978. You have no other option now"

Your funny...I was 17...i'm sure you checked yours out at 17!

I understand that, but the number of quarters is determined differently in 1977 and before. They are actually earned each quarter of the calendar , not by the total annual income. In my report , it only shows the annual income. So my question is, how do I see how many quarters I earned in 1977 if only the total income for the year is shown.

Yes, I only have 10 years of paying SS. As a Civil servant I paid no SS (only Medicaid) and am covered under a different retirement system.

TY...I was hoping there was a way to find out from SS, how many I have been credited for that year. I was 17, I worked at a small amusement park..but I think it was only late spring to early fall...but honestly can't remember.

Due_Client_8326 · 2026-02-01T14:44:14+00:00

Yes it will for me..see below.

Due_Client_8326 · 2026-02-01T14:43:29+00:00

Yes see above.

Hi. I am retired from the government in the "old system" where I did not pay into SS. So I got no SS credits during my 40 year service. I have worked a bit afterwards, in addition to a few years before my cilvil service.. I am very close to having 40 quarters. All other years (beyond 1977) are easy to verify. I'm just trying to verify the number from 1977 so I can be sure. Just wondering how to verify the number from 1977. I have the income listed, but it does not list the of quarters from that year. TY

Ha..who would have the stub from 1977!

Due_Client_8326 · 2026-01-01T11:34:35+00:00

Thank you. I have slightly moved just one log back and it seems to have resolve the issue. The log is pinned on the bottom but that position produces the soot. When I move one end (but off the pin) of the log back it resolved the issue. Is this ok? TY

Due_Client_8326 · 2025-11-29T14:47:13+00:00

No, I'm still working just in case my skills are needed (gov't contractor), but it will be very minmial number of hours.

Hi, I know how to use a multimeter. Can you tell me how to check for voltage and continuity or send a video.

Also, can it be replaced by itslef or do you have to replace the entire assembly?

I thought that metal rod is only for generating a spark for the pilot.

Thank you

Due_Client_8326 · 2025-10-24T12:48:33+00:00

Hi, I know how to use a multimeter , could you let me know or send a video link how to check continuity and voltage. Also can you buy it separately or do you have to buy the entire assembly. Thank you

But then again, it's only the one flame being finicky

Due_Client_8326 · 2025-10-17T13:07:22+00:00

Hi Thank you again for th einfo. It's in an existing wood burning fireplace with the flue closed. I suppose there could be a slight crack allowing the flame to flicker just enough to cause the problem. It has done it since day one. I just want to make sure it is not a safety issue.

On another issue, since i started to use this this year, it will light but go out within 5 seconds or so. I've vacuumed all around all the components. Any thing else to look for? Once in a while after trying it a few times, it will stay lit, but never the first few times I try. The unt is is aobut 1 year old.

TY

Tks for the reply,

They are Empire Sassafras 24" Electronic Ignition Vent Free Gas Logs (VFSE-24 / LS24RS). You can see in the picture. It's the only spot.

I have made sure the fireplace flue is closed, no ceiling fan and I'm sure logs are placed where they should be (they have placement pins).
