SSI and retirement benefits
Sounds like you stopped working at age 30. To qualify for retirement benefits, anyone born in 1929 or later needs 10 years of work (40 credits) to be eligible. So it's possible for you qualify if you had 10 years of work history before age 30.
You can check potential retirement benefits by using the SSA's Retirement Estimator :
http://www.ssa.gov/estimator
Also, note SSI is payable to one who is :
* aged (age 65 or older);
* blind; or
* disabled
and who has limited income and resources, and who meets residency requirements.
Please check directly with SSA if you have questions about your situation.
