As we mentioned at the beginning, while knowing the number of days we have contributed, it is very important that we also know other data to be able to enter our retirement in the estimated time. These data are not only valid so that we can know what retirement we have, but so that we can know in case of unemployment, what amount of benefit we would have from month to month.

In case any data is not correct, what should I do?

In case you notice that any of the data on the social security page is not correct, the next step is to modify said data on your profile. However, it will be the social security that after seeing your correction, decide if it really consists of a correct type of information.

How to know the days quoted to request benefits

In other words, while the days contributed are spent when they are used for payment or some type of benefit, the days contributed for retirement are counted in years and these are not spent, in other words, they are cumulative throughout of the life.

In both cases, it is very important to know what the total number of years it is.
