Currently living in the United States and am expecting to receive Social Security in about 10 years. Assuming it hasn’t dried up by then, will I still be eligible to receive it if I move to another country?
Yes! If you are an American Citizen or are a Legal Immigrants and move to another country then you can receive your Social Security in just abuout any country in the world. You can either receive it in form of a check sent to you overseas, or what’s better is you open a bank account in a legitimate and credible bank overseas and then your request the Social Security Administration through filling out a form to have your Social Security checks come to in form of Direct Deposit.
Usually if you are in a country where there is a U.S. Embassy they have a Social Security Office inside the Embassy. Though the U.S. Consulate can also act a go between you and the Social Security Administration, as far as accrediting who you are and assisting with the filing of the transfer of your Social Security checks to either a physical address in that country or by way of Direct Deposit to a bank of your choosing in the country where you want to live.
If I retire and move out of the country, do I still get (USA) Social Security?

Not sure, although in my opinion you should. The government took a part of every paycheck you ever earned with the promise (empty though it may be) that you would get it back eventually. But again, I’m not sure. You might want to ask a lawyer about that. They might be able to answer.

Yes you do. You paid for it, you get it no matter where you live. A lot of retirees move to Mexico or Costa Rica and live off their SS since money goes further there. I don’t know if they can claim any medicare benefits though.
Enjoy! Once again, assuming it hasn’t dried up!

Yes, though there are certain countries it is not legal to send payments to.
Social Security will be solvent (i.e. full payments) until 2037. After that, payments will be dropped to 75%.

Claim dual citizenship and you will be ok, again, assuming Obama hasn’t dried up SS and made it part of his health bill. Acorn members will be ok. Just to clear up any rumors, though.
Your best bet is to start a drug ring with prostitution on the side and ask for Acorn help. Acorn is in Obama’s pocket so if you’re in with Acorn, you will succeed from his forced health care.

Yes, you can. They will also want you to pay taxes in the US if you decide you want to work in your retirement in your new country, nice of them, huh? And Mexico and the US are trying to work out a way that Medicare coverage can be used in Mexico, too.

As a matter of fact I just called and talked to social security about this a couple of weeks ago. I am a U.S. citizen, and I wanted to know that if I retire to England if I can still get my social security if I moved there and S.S.said Yes. Also if you want to know more just call your local S.S. office and they will return your call shortly, if they are busy.

Yes, bug a U.S. dollar will probably not be worth much in 10 years.
You’re lucky to have some time to see what standard of living you can afford in another country.
