You can apply for a Social Security benefit. Whether or not you get one depends upon how long you worked in the U.S. and how much you paid into Social Security when you worked.
Unlike many other countries, in the U.S. an old age pension is not an automatic entitlement. nor is it based on need.
The U.S. government old age pension, Social Security is based on how long you worked and how much you paid into the Social Security fund during the time you worked.
Your monthly benefit is then calculated on the length of time you worked and the amount you contributed, so the monthly benefit can range form a minimum of $42 per month to a maximum of $3,985 a month.
To be eligible at all, as others have said you must work a minimum of 40 "quarters," a quarter being a three-month calendar period. (40X3=120 months, or 10 years).
Americans who have worked their entire adult lives, earning average incomes, get about $1.500 a month.
