PAYMENTS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES

 

This is a tool to find out if you can receive your Social Security payment if you are planning to be outside the United States for six consecutive calendar months or more and you currently receive Title II Social Security benefits.

Check here to view who this tool does not apply to along with more information on how to apply for benefits and report changes.

If you have questions about your individual claim and you are in the United States, please call or visit your local Social Security office. If you are outside the United States, see our list of Contacts for Services outside the U.S.


Have you been or do you intend to be outside the United States (the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa or the Northern Mariana Islands) for six consecutive calendar months or more?
