If You Worked Outside The United States

We have agreements with many other countries that may allow us to consider your work under another country's social insurance system in deciding if you are eligible for a U.S. Social Security benefit.

If you are among the growing number of Americans who spend part of their careers working outside the United States, you may wonder what effect this will have on your Social Security taxes and benefits. The United States has made agreements with many other countries to help you avoid double taxation while working abroad and also help you qualify for future Social Security benefits.
