Re: social security/ retirement
If you have worked in the past and paid SS taxes (FICA) you may be eligible for a retirement benefit. You can apply for a reduced benefit (75%) at age 62. I have no idea how much your benefit may be. Call the SSA and ask to open a retiment claim.
If you have not worked since 2000, why not? Are you disabled? Perhaps you can apply for a disability claim instead.
