I’m A U.s. Citizen, But I Live Outside The U.s. Abroad Or Plan To Move Outside The U.s. Will I Be Able To Collect Ssd Benefits?
Usually, if you have been approved for SSDI benefits, you will be able to receive them if you are a U.S. citizen living outside of the country. However, there are a few exceptions:
- Social Security will not send benefit payments to Cuba or North Korea. However, if you are living in one of those countries and then move to another country or back to the U.S., you will get all the payments that you missed.
- There are some other countries, including countries that were formerly Soviet Union republics, where Social Security will not send payments. However, for these countries, there are some exceptions for people who are eligible where Social Security will send checks on a special payment plan.
My experience with the firm of Terry Katz and Associates proved to be a very rewarding experience. My specific case was for the receipt of SSI benefits. After having been denied my initial request for SS benefits, I contacted the firm of Terry Katz and Associates in the hopes of reinforcing my appeal.
The associate with whom I worked, Ms. Langdale, was truly exceptional, providing me not only with invaluable guidance, but personable and compassionate care along the way. She is a wonderful person. In the end, my appeal was successful and I am now receiving benefits.
I am so grateful to the Katz firm, for the exceptional assistance I received, not only from Ms. Langdale, but from all the associates involved at the firm. I highly recommend retaining their services for anyone seeking to strengthen their SSI case. Thank you again, Terry Katz & Associates!
