When does a person attain fully insured status under Social Security? A. after 40 quarters (10 years) of participation paying FICA taxes B. after 20 quarters (5 years) of participation paying FICA taxes C. after 30 quarters (7.5 years) of participation paying FICA taxes D. after 50 quarters (12.5 years) of participation paying FICA taxes
No. You only pay FICA taxes on earned income (wages, salary); paying on Social Security benefits would amount to paying the same tax twice.

I am drawing Social Security now at age 69. I work a school crosswalk job. They hold out F.I.C.A. taxes. Should I be paying S/S taxes now?
All tips are subject to FICA taxes until you hit the wage cap for the year.
A seniors paying taxes should not have to pay while the rich get richer and pay fewer taxes. The rich individuals should pay more taxes because they could afford it.
frequency of fica payments
Yes. The way it works in most cases is that you pay FICA taxes in the amount of 6.2% of your gross income and your employer also pays the same amount. Also you are required to pay 1.45% of your gross income for Medicare tax and your employer also matches that amount. So in total you are paying for half of these two taxes and your employer pays for half of the total taxes for these two taxes.
