Hi,

I don't have enough information about your circumstances to be able to tell you if you would be eligible for U.S. Social Security benefits, but you can file an application for benefits in order to find out. You may be able to initiate the application process by calling Social Security at 1-800-772-1213. If you're living in Peru can't contact Social Security by phone, then you may be able to obtain assistance in applying for benefits by contacting the U.S. Embassy in Peru. For more information about receiving Social Security benefits outside of the U.S., refer to the following Social Security publication: https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10137.pdf.

Best, Jerry
