If I Move Out Of The U.S. Can I Have My Benefits Sent To My New Country Of Residence?

If I move out of the United States, can I have my social security benefits sent to the new country of residence?

Hi,

In most cases the answer is yes, but there are a few countries where benefits can't be sent. For more information on receiving your benefits while outside of the U.S., refer to this Social Security publication: https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10137.pdf.

Best, Jerry
