Full question: I am a caregiver for my special needs niece for approximately 4 months per year. Can I receive social security earnings credit under the Social Security Caregiver Credit Act of 2021?

Hi there,

Unfortunately, the Social Security Caregiver Credit Act of 2021 at this time, is just a proposed Bill in congress.

This Bill has several stages that it has to be passed through before it becomes law. The five phases a Bill has to pass to become law include, introduction of Bill, Passed Committee, Passed House, Passed Senate, and last, Signed by the President. The Social Security Caregiver Credit Act of 2021 is currently only on the introduction phase!

You can find updates on the Bill here.

Take care,
Martha
