Thank you. I worked for 8 years before kids and need 2 more to qualify, which I do plan to do at some point

What is the main wage earner has over 40 quarters of wages? Will the spouse qualify for Medicare? And SS?

Yes but I’m not sure if the details. I know there are “married for 10 years” rules etc.
