Year Amount Year Amount Year Amount Year Amount 1978 $250 1986 $440 1994 $620 2002 $870 1979 $260 1987 $460 1995 $630 1980 $290 1988 $470 1996 $640 1981 $310 1989 $500 1997 $670 1982 $340 1990 $520 1998 $700 1983 $370 1991 $540 1999 $740 1984 $390 1992 $570 2000 $780 1985 $410 1993 $590 2001 $830 The dollar amount on the chart indicates the amount needed to credit one qualifying quarter. You can combine covered and uncovered earnings to determine the total earnings for a year. You may use current year’s earnings; however, you may not use the current quarter’s earnings. If you need to determine QQs based on quarters before 1978: • A credit was earned for each calendar quarter in which an individual was paid $50 or more in wages (including agricultural wages for 1951-1954). • Four credits were earned for each taxable year in which an individual’s net earnings from self-employment were $400 or more. • A credit was earned for each $100 (limit to a total of four) for agricultural wages paid during the year for the years 1955-1977. Normal Processing standards will apply if the alien must provide additional information to establish QQs. If the alien does not provide required verification by the end of the processing period, he or she will be treated as an ineligible alien until the information is provided. See SNAP 1621.6 for additional information.
