The US social Security Administration says they will not send social security payments to US citizens living in Vietnam. This generates several questions in my head:
1. The guidelines are very ambiguous ... they say "cannot send payments to Vietnam" ... but other places the prohibition seems to include direct deposit in a US bank if the recipient happens to be currently in VN... does anyone know the exact law?
2. *Why* would this be... the US seems to have normalized almost all other economic and trade relationships with VN... why does it treat the citizens the same as if they were in North Korea?
3.Is this law actually enforced?
