I don't think so.  You probably can't live in another state or province, let alone another country!!!

This will probably disqualify you from SSI.  Outside of your home and one vehicle, there are limits on the amount of assets you can have to be eligible for SSI.  If the insurance settlement was over $2000, your SSI payments will probably be suspended until the amount left drops below $2000.  Talk to your case worker about this, because if they find out later, you will have to repay any unqualified SSI payments anyway.

No, it will not affect your social security benefit as the law is written now. Your SSA payment is dependent upon how much you earned. They are talking about taking it away or reducing it for people who earn more, but I don't think that would pass.

No.  You only pay the taxes in the country that you live, work, or own property.  Note the last.  If you own property in two countries, you will have to pay taxes in both countries. \n\nCitizenship does NOT equal taxes.

if you can hold a steady job and make enough $$$ to pay your BASIC bills (rent/mortgage, utilities, food) then you may be able to discontinue your SSI, otherwise, you may need to continue it.

yeah, in witness protection program. otherwise you have to die and be ressurected in america\n\nyou can start over any time though, its a tough process but at the end you would be the person you would want yourself to be with a new social security number. I hear the credit report and the history only goes up to 7 years on file since the date of repayment.

I just spoke to the principal of an international school about this last week.  His school has worked out a Roth with an office that is in a U.S. territory nearby.  The tax is prepaid so there's no tax or penalty paid at retirement.  Email a investor in the Mainland to see what they can offer.  Some offices are just ignorant of the law, as most folks are for most things like voting, taxes, shipping things to people who are abroad.  You may want to email an investment group someplace like the Virgin Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico...  They're more familiar with policies and retirement programs for Americans living outside the Mainland.

The United States does not tax nonresident aliens on income from personal services performed outside the country, regardless of citizenship or residence.  \n\nSection 871 imposes a tax on investment income and compensation from US sources, and income connected with a trade or business carried on by the individual in the United States.\n\nSection 864 provides that the performance of personal services in the US is considered carrying on a trade or business in the US.\n\nSections 861-862 provide that income from personal services has its source where the services are performed.\n\nBased on all these provisions, your wife should not have income from US sources and should not be subject either to income tax or to social security taxes.  \n\nSometimes it is difficult to get employers to accept this, but these are the rules.  Since the employer is a large company they should have experience with this and you should not have any problems.\n\nIf your wife travels to the US on business, then there is a possibility she would be subject to US tax on the compensation attributable to the time she spends working here.\n\nYou should confirm this advice with your tax advisor.

I don't know.  I think it depends on the country you are going to. I think it vests at 20 years and there are treaty provisions with some countries where migration goes both ways to pay it.  Check with the Social Security office.

If you are a U.S. citizen, you may receive your Social Security payments outside the U.S. as long as you are eligible for them.

I'm assuming you're in the US - don't know about other countries.\n\nIf you don't have income, you won't pay income taxes.  There are other kinds of taxable income other than jobs, like interest on savings accounts, but unless you have a lot in the account, would not reach the level where you'd need to pay income tax on it.  But there are some other kinds of taxes, usually local ones, that you might have to pay - some places have a per capita tax, for example - it's usually not much but you might still owe it.

I worked abroad for a few years, I paid no income tax and my National Insurance contrbutions were considerably reduced.  I remained a British citizen throughout and so am entitled to all such benefits, as you should be, as you have paid the insurance

It depends on where you live and how much SSI you are getting. You can call your SS office and ask them.
