I have heard several theories on how your benefit is calculated. Highest of total years worked, top 15 years out of total, top years in the past X amount of years
I've read SSI web site, but it is vague. (or I'm just dense!)
SSI is Supplemental Security Income, a program for disabled people. You do not have to have paid in to collect. Are you talking about that or Social Security for ordinary working folks?

My mistake. Social Security for non disabled folks.
The main difference between Social Security Disability (SSD, or SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is the fact that SSD is available to workers who have accumulated a sufficient number of work credits, while SSI disability benefits are available to low-income individuals who have either never worked or who haven't earned enough work credits to qualify for SSD.
While many people don't distinguish between SSI (Supplemental Security Income) and SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance), they are two completely different governmental programs. While both programs are overseen and managed by the Social Security Administration, and medical eligibility is determined in the same manner for both programs, there are distinct differences between the two.
Social security retirement benefits are taken from your 35 highest years of work, if you worked less than 35 years, any missing years will be calculated at 0.
