Payments Outside the United States
If you are eligible, then your Social Security payments will continue even though you are outside the United States for 6 consecutive calendar months or more because you have met an exception to the alien nonpayment provisions of the Social Security law.
To find out whether any Social Security benefits payable to you will be subject to nonresident alien tax withholding for IRS, please visit the Nonresident Alien Tax Screening Tool.
