Yes, if you both earned enough credits to qualify for Social Security, then you can each collect your own benefits. To qualify for Social Security retirement benefits, you must have earned 40 credits (approximately 10 years of work). You can actually collect your own benefit as early as age 62, but you won't receive your full benefit until you reach your full retirement age. Once you are at your full retirement age, you can choose to collect either your own benefit, or the spousal benefit, whichever is higher.

Yes, you can claim Social Security at age 62 based on your own credits. When your husband reaches full retirement age, you can switch to claiming a spousal benefit equal to 50% of his benefit if it is higher than what you receive on your own record. This strategy may allow you to maximize your benefits.
Typically, a certificate does not meet the requirements of a degree in either the number of credits and course requirements. In other words, a certificate may require 33 credits where an associate degree may require 64 credits. In addition, a certificate is much more specific to a field, where the associate degree requires more of a diverse education to include, written communication, humanities and social science requirements.
Each state has its own method for calculating unemployment benefits. In general, they compare your weekly earnings (which must be reported in all cases) to the actual benefits received and adjust your payment, if any is due after deducting the earnings. In most cases, any credits left over are available in the remainder of the benefits year.
The weekly benefits range from $32 to $275. The available credits for a claimant range from $850 to $7,150.
Social Security benefits are the same no matter what state you live in. Social Security retirement benefits are based on your earnings record or "credits" and your age.
