Re: UK state pension and USA social security

Had a thought - do I use the Basic State Pension amount as my total pension, without all the extras added on (e.g.deferral, etc), or the whole ball of wax? Thanks again.

Re: UK state pension and USA social security

Now I'm with you! On their letter HMRC didn't put a pension value against the categories although I'd calculated it myself. The SS person I saw months ago wanted something official. This helps a...

Re: UK state pension and USA social security

Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by 'equal amount.'

I think HMRC did break it down: first four of my work years are before records were computerized, and are listed only as so many...

Re: UK state pension and USA social security

Thanks, Nun! I was shocked to find the WEP specialist at my local Social Security office hadn't a clue. Maybe I should try a different office?

Do you know if the deferred amount component of my...

Re: UK state pension and USA social security

Thanks Lin_NJ. When I do my calculation, do I just use the Basic St Pension part or should I include the deferral portion too?

Re: Pension Direct Deposit from UK

Hello -- just did this myself, last week. My credit union just has a routing number. I hope this will be enough, with my account number.

Re: National Insurance Contributions - How do you pay?

I am over 60, but still working here in U.S. I was told I can't pay any more years in arrears; but am I still able to make voluntary NI contributions until I retire here?

Thanks!
