The "magic time" for Social Security is ten years. It is not a matter of decision, but a federal entitlement which you receive if you qualify. Rather than asking this service, though, you should simply go to the nearest Social Security office, with your I.D. and ask your questions -- they should be able to tell you exactly what you are and are not eligible to receive.
