Will I Get Social Security If I Move Back To India?
Hi Larry
I am from india on h1b Visa.
I have 40 credits. If I move back to India will I get social security
Hi. Yes. If you meet the eligibility requirements for Social Security retirement or disability benefits, you can be paid those benefits while living in India. However, due to the non-resident alien tax withholding provision, Social Security may need to withhold 25.5% of your monthly benefits (https://www.ssa.gov/international/AlienTax_reference_2.html).
Best, Jerry
