Re: UK state pension and USA social security

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

Lansbury, thank you for your update. I did receive my letter from HMRC. Pre-1975 contributions were not computerized and are listed as so many credits, and worked years after that are listed with...

Re: UK state pension and USA social security

Lansbury - I might just do it this way when I receive my UK Pension letter. I have the online app completed, ready to go.

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?
