Can A U.S. Resident With A Green Card Collect Spousal Benefits If They Move Outside The U.S.?

Can a US resident with a Green Card collect spousal benefits if he gives up his Green Card and moves to another country like Canada?



Hi,

The answer to your question depends both on your country of citizenship and the country to which you move. You'll need to refer to the following Social Security publication for more information: https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10137.pdf.

Best, Jerry
