Donald Trump, though eligible for Social Security benefits, has chosen not to claim them. This decision likely stems from his wealth, which renders the benefits somewhat negligible. Eligibility for Social Security comes from accruing 40 work credits paid into the system during one’s career, allowing retirees to claim benefits upon reaching 62. This situation highlights that wealth does not negate one’s right to Social Security, an important aspect of the retirement system that many may overlook.
"Despite being eligible for Social Security, Donald Trump has yet to collect benefits. That's not necessarily surprising, though. Trump is undoubtedly a very wealthy man."
"You should know that you're entitled to claim Social Security in retirement even if you're extremely wealthy and don't need the money."
