Application for retirement
Hi cinar2007,
That is a good question. Most U.S. citizens can get Social Security benefits while visiting or living outside the U.S. Find out if you qualify. If you earned Social Security benefits, you can visit or live in most foreign countries and still receive payments. Please visit this website below to find out more details.
Hope this answers your question. Please reply if you have any additional questions.
