Benefits for older parents who never worked in the US?

[TheRealCanadian]

Where can I find the list of the countries that have such agreement with US? Am I understanding you correctly that depending on what country you are from, it could be that work related contributions paid there will count towards 40 quarters for SS in the US?

If you search through this forum I think I posted a link a few months back.

Are there any differentiations in ss proceeds commensurate to how much one has contributed to ss in his/her productive years?
