Default Timing belt?

Hey I bought an 02 SI about a year ago with 92k miles on it. I have no idea when there was a new timing belt put on so im guessing I need to go buy a new one?

they say you never really have to changed them.. but some say they stretch out... but they are a chain so they last a very long time. But if you wanna change it I'd do it like a timing belt and change at 100k
