No.

You must work for 40 quarters (usually 10 years) to get any benefits at the time of retirement.

But will we get the benefits (worked 10 quarters) at age of 65 if we go back to India ? How we going to claim it from india ? Would they change the laws for the benefit of american citizens later since social security is running out of money ?

[leifbooger]

social security tax = 6.2%
medicare tax = 1.45%
total earnings last 8 years = $560,000
SSN + medicare paid = $42,840

When I go back to India for good, can I get that money back? If yes, what is the procedure?

[ariyamannil]

SSN website says indian nationals are elgible for all the benefits.
