Re: UK state pension and USA social security

Not Nun but...

Re: UK state pension and USA social security

Would that be the case if say you cash it out at 55 long before you take your social security? Since the foreign retirement account wouldn't exist any more?

Re: UK state pension and USA social security

I imagine most people with UK personal pensions would also qualify for a state uk pension and are likely to be subject to WEP even if they cash out the personal pensions so avoiding WEP doesn't have...
