Katie Nobles:
And you're Watching the bottom line with liner legal. Today's topic: Can I receive disability benefits if I live outside of the United States?
Michael Liner:
Yeah. And you know what, it's a question that oddly, we've been getting more of lately here in our office. We've received many inquiries from people who live outside of the United States but they worked and paid into social security at some point and maybe their ex-pats who moved outside the country. But the answer is, yes, you can. If you are, if you have worked and paid into social security you can receive disability benefits regardless of your residence, as long as you have paid into social security. You know, what often happens is your claim will be processed a little bit different. We find that cases for individuals living outside the United States move a little bit slower. Often they're processed in a consulate office. The hearing offices are usually tied to either whichever hearing office is geographically closest to an individual. We've had hearings with judges in Hawaii and other places like that. You know, for, for people who live in Asia, for example but you know, the ultimate answer is yes, even if you're living outside the United States, you can receive disability benefits. So don't let your residence, even if it's not in the United States, dissuade you from applying for disability benefits. If you paid into social security and are unable to work any longer.

Thanks for sharing this helpful video. Are you able to represent disabled clients nationwide?
Hi i been working an paying tax and social security since i was 16 year old now 40 disable i want to move to Cambodia will receive my SSA benifit. People tell me that i can only stay up until 30 day on ssi but your video say has long i pay into social security i can live anywhere except the 2 countries so confuse
Is there a list of countries that are banned from Americans receiving SSDI ?
I’m a dual citizen of USA with an EU passport. I’m currently on SSDI and am considering working abroad Germany. How do foreign salaries impact my ability to draw SSDI? Do I have to report these earnings? I was also retired from the US military due to combat injuries
Thanks for the question. Reporting of income and income limits apply the same for out of country earnings as they do domestically. SSA has an online app you can use to report the US exchange for your foreign earnings.
@@MichaelLiner thank you. It’s my understanding that only earning more than SGA must be reported. Is this correct?
@@SilverbugInc you would be wise to report all earnings, to avoid any issues later that may trigger an overpayment
This still works with VA Disability and Compensation if you move out of the USA?
Yes you can receive VA disability pension income. Many vets live in Thailand and Philippines.
Glad you asked this Devil Dog. I was about to ask the same question. Semper-Fi

Hello
What if you move to cuba???
Or Russia
Or Israel ?😬
TUNISIA NORTH AFRICA WORK?
What about Cuba?
Why on earth would anyone move to Cuba you can't even get a simple chicken there 😂😂😂😂it's the worst place on earth
I get ssi and ssdi can I still move to another country?
If you live abroad and collect SSDI, you must return to the US every six months, stay 30 days, provide proof of stay to SSA. Wash, rinse, repeat, every 6 months. I am a US expat living in the Philippines, my bank account and mailing address is in the US, so I have no idea how they would know I am overseas unless I tell them. I am 62, returning to US in April and switching over to regular SS so I do not have to jump through this costly hoop. None of these videos mention the 6 month rule.
Immigrant. You are an immigrant.
do they have something that checks you were out the country? - i thought you have tp be 65 years old to switch to SS
I am in Australia . I was questing the same years ago. Here ,Ss know straight away once I depart from the airport .
Isn't early ss less than ssdi unless ur 65
What about health care benefits? Will it still work outside the US?
Excellent question Kenny. While I am uncertain if any international health providers take Medicare insurance (and may render it useless), Medicare should still be available to you.
@@LinerLegalLLCCleveland thank you for your answer.
