Only Social Security or the railroad can tell you if you qualify for benefits.   

 

Establish an account with Social Security to see if you can receive benefits:

 

  Go to www.ssa.gov  You have to create an account with a user name and password.

 

Or make an appointment to visit a SS office in person.

 

Were/are you a railroad employee?   You have to check with the RR to see about those benefits.
