What Do I Need To Do If I'm Moving Outside Of The U.S.?

Moving out of country what do I do about as?



Hi,

I can only advise you with regard to Social Security, and if you're receiving benefits from Social Security you'll need to notify them about your move. You can do so either by visiting a Social Security office or by calling 1-800-772-1213. Whether or not moving to another country would affect your benefits depends on the type of Social Security benefits you receive, your citizenship status, and the country to which you're moving. For more information, refer to the following Social Security publication: https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10137.pdf.

Best, Jerry
