Looks like my work history was too spotty to make the retirement minimum. I worked a lot as a contractor and might have screwed the pooch.

Doesn't really matter, I saved my money over the years. I don't owe anyone anything, public or private. I own my own land outright and live off grid. No family, unless you count my dog. (I do)

So... I'm not bitching, just never had heard of a minimum dollar amount program, or what the requirements are.

Thanks.
