What 65yr old naturalized U.S citizen who never worked in US can get?

Female, 65yr old, living in U.S, became U.S citizen in 2004, never worked and never payed tax in U.S, no income, some savings and do not own home. What kind of benefit can I get. I know I can not have Social Security, Medicare and Medicate (probably). Can I get some kind of Old Age Pension? Where can I find this information?

1. In order to get benefits, any person must have worked at least 10,000 hours in the US.
2. You might as well forget it.
3. looks like you came here a little to late,go get a job and work for 10-15 years or you will struggle severely.
4. None, since you've contributed as much to the system.
5. Probably SSI, Definitely Medicare.
6. You will be able to get SSI. It's not much, but it's not an earned benefit either. To get the SSI you must be physically present in the United States. It's not like Social Security which you can collect while living outside the United States.
