the only moves the military pays for are  pcs  permanent change  of  station. and they will move you back to your hometown after   you finish your time. they dont pay when you decide to leave the service member. thats on you to foot the bill not them. the service member isnt moving so they dont care

Only if your employer has a valid alternative. \n\nPrimary example:\nExecutive Summary\nApproximately five million state and local employees are exempt from Social Security and instead participate in retirement plans administered on the state and local levels. The history of those retirement plans provides valuable information for policymakers attempting to reform the federal program.\nhttp://www.socialsecurity.org/pubs/ssps/ssp-16es.html

I looked into retiring in Costa Rica after we had a foreign exchange student.  I believe that Social Security checks will be sent there.  \nningamanoo, asked why one might want to leave the US.  Well, health care is a good reason.  ningamanoo is ignorant on comparative statistics on national infant mortality rates, life expectancy, and a host of other data that suggests that even though the US spends 15% of our GDP on health, we get only 47th place compared to other countries on some measures.  At the Olympics 47th place would put Iraq ahead of us in basketball.  ningamanoo must work for a health care propaganda company.  \nI look forward to other people’s answers.

It varies depending on your case, family size, and how much had previously been paid into SS prior to your disability.\n\nLook here for more info:\nhttp://www.ssa.gov/disability/

You can move to anywhere you'd like and you can still keep you benefits. They are awarded to you and should not be taken away. If they are you may appeal and get them back.. Check with any VA office for any more info.. They will tell you the same thing..\n\nSorry to hear about your husband and good luck in the future. Go to your family.

It isn't that simple, I got SSD and didn't expect it.  Income had decreased and no longer able to work at the lower level.  They explained to me that if you are not able to work at the level you are trained SSI doesn't expect you to work at lower level.  Now if you choose to get a low paying job, it will not affect your benefits, if on SSI but SSD you are limited to 500 dollars and that mayhave changed.

it depends on how you want to live and where you want to live.  Supposedly, i could live like royalty if I were in Mexico because it is much less expensive there to live and I've been working and saving for 20 years.  I couldn't do that here without penalties to my retirement accounts.  You are supposed to work til you are 65.  Unless you win the lotto.  Better start playing!

Call the social security office and ask them. Amy other answer you get here would just be opinion.

YES YES YES.  I am a retired California Realtor who was able to retire early thanks to a housing market similar to NY's.  You won't be able to retire off flipping one place, but you'll come out way ahead.  I don't know the specific prices in your market but you might check with my "source".

Are you sure that your credit is excellent? If you have good credit, it really does not matter where you live. Moving should have no bearing on your credit.

Your benefits are separate.the only thing that would be affected would be the amount your dependents would get.If you are on SSI then it would matter,because that is determined by income and resources

It will vary by state.  What state are you in?

California is a BIG state!  There is a lot of difference between northern and southern California.  If you like the sun and the beach, then move to southern California.  Otherwise, go north to San Francisco, San Jose or Sacramento.  Have you heard of the Silicon Valley? Maybe you should check over there with your IT background. There's also IT jobs in the south. Make sure you get the job first before you move here because the cost of living here is waaaaaaay high! Over $1500 a month for a one bedroom apartment in most major cities.

As usual with legal-related questions on Yahoo! Answers, far too little information exists to answer the question adequately.  Are you disabled?  And you're a student in Merced County, California?  Regardless, the information regarding your situation is far too abstract and ambiguous to provide a concrete answer.  I've included a link to BEST put out by the Social Security Administration.  BEST is the Benefit Eligibility Screening Tool, which does not compute the total sum of benefits you're eligible for, but simply determine which category of benefits are right for you, if you're eligible.  This should be the first step toward determining the total eligible.  The SSA would be able to provide more details for you in your specific situation, since amounts may vary wildly depending on personal facts and details.
