Privatizing Social Security could actually be a good thing. Here’s why- as it currently stands, if you contribute for 40 years and then die before reaching retirement, your family/heirs receive nothing. With privatization, beneficiaries could be designated and your account passed to your heirs.

[@AadhilaEesha]

also, people might not take SS at age 62 and take it at 67 or 70 because they don't want to die at age 62 and get 0 bucks. People like me don't have to worry about dying early and spending my 401k down and only getting like 2 years of SS money, if I delay to age 70 and die at age 72, if invested like HSA account, that SS money invested would go to the heirs

If you're a US citizen, you can't legally collect "disability" abroad. Regular 62+ social security you can collect though

[@Starbeoghtuser3475]

This is only true if you are collecting SSDI disability and paid into social security. If you are on SSI disability you can’t take that money out of the country. The government looks at it as a form of welfare because you did not put money into the system or pay into social security. They’re trying to cut that program anyway even if you stay in the United States. You will be cut off of SSI disability if you leave the country for more than 6 months at the current time.

[@pattyolson3842]

I do too, but a friend of mine looked it up. With SSDI we can't move abroad and still collect those benefits.

If you can, apply for SS before moving abroad. It took me over 6 months to finally get approved because I applied immediately before moving. They transferred my file overseas. If you can use a US address without affecting your tax status, give that to SS. That will avoid the “drop dead letter” they send to expats. If you lived in California, you must get rid of all connections to the state or they will get state taxed. Even voting overseas can trigger them to charge you all years you didn’t file with Cali. They took $15k from my account and gave me a bill for their balance. My tax man fixed it for me.

Don’t sweat it and save your anxiety for other problems. Social Security will be fine under Trump, as it would have been under Harris as well frankly. The only thing you may see happening with SS in the next four years would be an increase in the FICA payroll tax income limits, which most people agree are set too low, and which would give a significant boost to the SS Trust Fund. Trump did promise to rescind the tax on SS earnings when you claim benefits prior to FRA and have other income, and if that happens it will be good news for retirees under 67 which is currently the typical FRA. So rest easy, it’s actually good news all around.

What about retired and living in Italy?

Beer on the beach sounds good if you have a good health. But, at retirement age, you are likely to have health conditions that prevent you from drinking frequently. Drinking is bad for many conditions, liver, heart or even heartburn, you name it. Your priority changes as you age. You want to remain healthy and pain free and do whatever it takes to remain so. If you can retire at 45, you probably get another 10-15 years to enjoy your vices like drinking or smoking without immediate consequences.

Your presentation is a little bit childish. Can you bring it down to a more professional level? The info is important & I appreciate it but please do better.

If I retire and move back to my fatherland I would prefer to receive my social sec benefits in USD in an American Bank. All my American CC work fine abroad. It's also very easy to get cash from any ATM there.

[@wpn-k8d]

Social Security has nothing to do with U.S. citizenship or residency. If you have worked for at least 10 years and earned 40 points, you can receive Social Security payments even if you have never had U.S. citizenship or residency and live in another country.

[@MountainGoat67]

What if direct deposited to the US bank and pay daily expenses and everything abroad with CC and pay it off online? No foreign bank. do we need one?

[@wanderonwards]

This could work! It depends on whether your new country allows you to pay everything with a CC. Germany does not 😭

Hi ladies, I was told by the SSA that if I go abroad I can only get my money deposited to an international bank and not a foreign bank like you said. Which side am I supposed to believe?

[@asterixky]

There are many foreign banks that have branches in the US and in your country of expatriation. If you are in France, use BNP. If you are in Germany, use Deutsch bank, and so on.

[@deneson421]

If you were deducted SSS & medicare contribution during your work time it is possible that your contribution is credited to the owner of the SS number that you used. Then there’s no way you can be refunded.

To start before moving to Europe ( France) I want to open an account on my next trip to Germany , Austria and France as a tourist . The question is which if these countries would allow an American tourist to open an account? Thank you

[@fblau]

From my experience, almost none of them. Your best bet is a card like Revolut or N26. THey work in the EU and have zero to low transfer fees.

[@SRQRay]

Great job, lady on the left!

[@LarryRichelli]

Everybody pays income tax on SS unless you only get a very small amount on your SS.

Is France a payer base tax system or resource base like Germany?

[@ericzap5814]

You are entitled to receive your SS monthly pension benefit , if you are abroad since this is your money , you contributed it for your retirement..

US citizens and even non-citizens can collect social security while living aboard. For expats, they need to continue to file federal income taxes annually
