Re: UK state pension and USA social security

Wondering if you can suspend your Gov Works pension. If so, then ask the question of the SS administration if that will then allow you to receive full US SS pension if you also defer your UK OAP?

Re: UK state pension and USA social security

Depends on your situation. Will you still be working or will you be retiring, do you need your pensions now? Usually the financial advice is to take your US SS pension as soon as possible, if you are...

Re: UK state pension and USA social security

I see no reason that not filing a tax return would stop you from qualifying for social security, if you were on a W2 then taxes should have been withheld, part of which would be for SS so you may...

Re: UK state pension and USA social security

A quick update, a work associate recently had a meeting with SSA and I asked him if he could ask if the above was true. He called me a couple of days ago and said that the SSA agent confirmed that he...

Re: UK state pension and USA social security

The SSA don't want you to retire. They'd love it if you kept on working and paying in until you dropped dead, then they wouldn't need to pay you any SS pension.

A win-win for them. :sneaky:

Re: UK state pension and USA social security

Not sure if you are USC or GC holder but as you have been here for 4 years you are US resident for tax purposes. That means you are required to pay US taxes on your WORLDWIDE income, which includes...

Re: UK state pension and USA social security

I believe your spousal pension based on your wife's US SSA pension may well be subject to GOP reduction because of your UK OAP.

Re: UK state pension and USA social security

The reason this is of interest to me is that I will be looking at taking my SS pension while still working in a civil service job. I know I will experience maximum WEP reduction because of my Civil...

Re: UK state pension and USA social security

Can you point me to that information? As far as I can recall, in talking with the SSA I will get my full (un-WEP'd) SS pension at 66 if I continue to work and do not retire from my Civil Service job...

Re: UK state pension and USA social security

I think you may have an additional amount because of how much you contributed in your work history. I believe there is a threshold that qualifies you for the state pension, if you meet the threshold...

Re: UK state pension and USA social security

Scotty,

I don't believe your Canadian or US pensions will have any effect on your UK pension, I presume, as a now permanent UK resident, you will be filing a self assessment tax return in the UK?...

Re: UK state pension and USA social security

Can you clarify that for me please? Are you saying your spousal pension is 50% of your wife's SS pension amount, after WEP reduction has been applied?
If that is so and you had had a US Gov Pension,...
