haq, put a lid on it, will you? kumar is here to have a political discussion and you hurl insults at him because he's an ex-pat. This is not constructive.

I personally would have a hard time arguing with him on SSI being a scam. It fits the definition of a Ponzi scheme IMO. And I pay plenty into it as an employer but what other option do I have?

you can collect soc sec from foreign country if you built up enough work credits. for example England.. and it starts i believe at age 60. They supply a form for signature and my understanding was they would notify United States of payments so when you also applied for soc sec in states you would only get the difference and no double dip... I have also heard if you do not sign a release they do nothing about notification to states and perhaps may collect from both countries. dual citizenship i am told if your mother or father was born in Ireland the children are a citizen of ireland. i don't know what that would get you unless you wanted to relocated to ireland and they only accepted so many coming into country , being a citizen would get you into country without going through a lot of applications .
