A LITTLE INFO IF YOU DECIDE TO GO "THERE" INSTEAD OF THEM COMING "HERE"
My husband and I were entertaining the thought of me moving to his
home country of Belgium in the next couple of years,(with me
maintaining dual citizenship) so I asked the SS Dept. if I could still
collect my benefits after I retire (I know, talk about thinking
"ahead"!)and here was the reply I recieved:
Thank you for your inquiry.
Regardless of your citizenship, there are certain countries where we
are not
allowed to send payments-see the list of countries and additional
information. If you are a citizen of one of the countries listed
below,
your Social Security payments will keep coming no matter how long you
stay
outside the U.S., As long as you are eligible for the payments.
Austria Greece Netherlands
Belgium Ireland Norway
Canada Israel Portugal
Chile Italy Spain
Finland Japan Sweden
France Korea, South Switzerland
Germany
Luxembourg
United Kingdom
For more information go to SSA pub (Your Payments While You Are
Outside The
United States) located at;
