1. Can I receive Social Security benefits if I am not a U.S. citizen and I live outside the United States? Generally, we cannot pay Retirement, Survivors, and Disability Insurance benefits to noncitizens after their sixth calendar month outside the United States. However, you might qualify for an exception, which could allow you to receive benefits without visiting the United States. If an exception does not apply, you must be physically and lawfully present in the United States for a full calendar month to begin receiving benefits. If you leave the U.S., we will stop your benefits the month after the sixth calendar month in a row that you are outside the country. You can make visits to the United States for specific periods of time, depending on how long you’ve been outside, to continue receiving your benefits. Here’s how it works: We will not start counting the calendar months of absence until you have been outside the United States for 30 days in a row. If you return to the United States for any part of one day before 30 days have passed since you left, we stop counting days absent. For example, if you left the U.S. on January 15, we stop counting your absence if you return for any part of one day before the end of the day on February 14. Once you have been outside the U.S. for 30 days in a row, you will continue to receive benefits if you stay in the U.S. for 30 days in a row before the end of the sixth calendar month after the date you left. For example, if you left on January 15, and did not return before the end of the day on February 14, you must complete a 30-day stay in the United States before the end of July to continue receiving payments. This means you must return to the United States on or before the first day of July. If you do not return on or before July 1, your benefits will stop beginning August. If we stopped your benefits, you must return and remain lawfully present for the entire calendar month to start receiving benefits again. A full calendar month visit means you are physically present for every hour of every day of any month of the year. For example, to considered present in the U.S. for the full calendar month of August, you must arrive in the United States no later than July 31 and leave no sooner than September

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.这是中国公民在中国居住，政府网站的回答
401K是你劳动所得，当然能拿回吧。 退休金当然更是了！这些都是只要你有社安号，你工作过交过税就行！
退休金和401K不一样的，绿卡离境超过6个月，社安金（退休金）会停发。放弃绿卡，会被归类到外国人，社安局会从你社安金的85%里面扣税30%
如果真的准备回国养老了，最佳方式是在回国之前入籍，然后拿中国护照回国，这样可以拿到全额美国退休金，美国当你是美国人，中国当你是中国人
当然能，只要先交税。
wow
那中国发现你是美国人非法入境，会把你驱除吧。
你肯定没入籍才会这么说。海关没那么傻，美籍连身份证都不能补办。最多拿旧护照旧身份证住住酒店买买票，在党日益强大的监控下，这些漏洞都会被堵住
不要再传谣了。这里上次详细讨论过。不会停发，不会停发，不会停发。税可能扣，但是报税可能会再退回来。另外，税务居民和公民无关。能退多少税，无关公民。 401k就复杂了，如果你主动申请放弃绿卡，那么你必须交exit tax。退休金账户会算全部一次性取出，算当年的税。但是如果不是主动退出。就是长期不回美国，好像是法律漏洞。
蓝皮绿卡最好
怎么发现？你决定回国养老后别再来美国了，它没半点可能发现你有美国护照，你在中国每个月收社安局的支票就可以了
国内renew身份证会让你证明你不是美籍？你肯定没换领过身份证。过了47岁换身份证就是永久身份证了，老子下次回去就去搞个永久身份证
停发是要你证明你的税务身份，你以为你可以绿卡永远留在外国，然后每个月收社安局全额支票？只有美国公民才有这个福利，好吗？
蓝皮容易，绿卡难拿啊
万一有点啥事要回美呢？未来的事情谁知道呢？
一回美全部穿帮完蛋
D哥这么聪明别尽给人出馊主意了。
但social security属于福利，你一旦放弃绿卡，从法律上就是和美国无关的外国人，不能享受美国养老福利 除非你选择入籍
这个世界哪有完美的漏洞可以钻的，如果有，也早就被人堵死了。要钻这个漏洞，说的就是老了后回中国后不再来美国了，如果还能折腾的，保留绿卡每六个月回一次美国就好了。万一万一，美籍潜入中国后要回美国，还有最后一次机会，利用免签，用中国护照飞到马尔代夫，用美国护照飞到美国，只是别再回中国就是了
NewBee!
讨论过。Social Security Benefit,中国公民可以拿，不会停发，即使长期在国外。不要再传谣言了。这个谣言传了太久了，假的都变成真的了。 具体查政府网站 https://www.ssa.gov/international/payments_outsideUS.html https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10137.pdf Page 7
如果你一直以绿卡身份呆在中国怎么办？社安局照发100%的社安金给你？
和绿卡没有关系。只要你是中国公民住在中国，就是100%发给你。寄支票或者直接汇入指定的在中国的银行。
太好了，谢谢信息，我还真没研究过这个信息
social security也不能算是福利，是你工作的时候交的钱，而且是必须交的，只不过政府统一帮你投资管理而已。。。
23楼贴了有哪些是exception，中国公民就是其中之一。。。

这个是最准确的。其他人不知道的不要传谣了。不知道可以不回复，就跟问路一样，最讨厌的就是不知道还乱指路的
因为某国就是这样挟持其国民的，惊弓之鸟有怪莫怪
退休金可以拿么？我记得版上个一阵子就讨论一下，有的时候说能有的时候说不能
怎么又扯到中国了，你摔一跤爬起来是不是都是中国的问题，有病嘛，中国退休金住在海外也可以领，见过有朋友父母入籍还领取的，就是好像不能在美国领。
赞同！真的不知道该说那种人什么好？
SSA 就是我们这种工作的退休的退休金是不会停发的（100% positive）， 但是税率不知道怎么计算。到海外超过28天，SSI（当然如果你是绿卡，也拿不到SSI，只有公民可以），就是低收入申请的联邦的退休金，一个月有1300块的那种，是要停发的。
