Where you only can get anything out of it if you have enough credits? In fact it is similar in many countries (i.e. UK) where there is a minimum period required to get anything

In the U.S. you only need 40 credits (10 years) to get anything out of it. Less if you collect early due to disability. Not sure how similar this is to any of the EU pension schemes being discussed.
