Any information on Social Security Benefits direct deposits and relocating to Egypt?
I know Egypt is a country that will allow direct deposit SS benefits.
The Social Security office in Florida information was if you wish to continue receiving S.S.
direct deposits and are retired permanently living in Egypt, you need to travel to USA every 6 months
for one month and take your I.d. the S.S. office so they know you are still living and the funds are not being
direct deposited to someone else, if you are deceased. ONE MONTH?
It was suggested by the same S.S,office to inquire to the US Embassy in Cairo-if it works to go to US Embassy there instead of going "home".
Naples Italy US Embassy handles matters of Social Security for Eygpt. I wrote to them and was told it is not required to come to Embassy. So that is very unclear, because English seeming to be the persons second language, it seemed my question was not understood.
if you are out of the country for more than 6 months and still receiving your benefits to your American Bank, this is also not legal.
I have just begun to research this, but it seems there is not a lot of information?
Would be so grateful to be directed to some good resources concerning S.S. benefits and expating.
Thank you-
