To be eligible for Medicare benefits in the United States, you generally need to have accumulated 40 quarters (or 10 years) of work credits. These credits are earned by working and paying Social Security taxes. However, there are certain circumstances in which individuals can qualify for Medicare benefits with fewer quarters, such as being married to someone who has earned enough credits. It is recommended to consult with the Social Security Administration to understand your particular situation.
