I did not know you could get your SS check DD in China. Called them and they only needed the Swift and account numbers to start it. Anyone else doing this?

with the bank fees, ATM fees at both ends, I would like to have all my money and not share it with them. SS told me both at my local and the national 800 number, they can send it to China, just not N. Kora, and Cuba. So since I have a home in China, my wife is Chinese, my bank account is in both China and the USA. China is my best bet. I can always visit the USA.

I am nearly ignorant on the subject of retirement benefits though it is my understanding that benefits WILL NOT be paid to eligible retirees living out of United States.

Please sir: if you know where I may look at the chapter and verse that provides for payment, outside US, please post the www page address.

Yes, you will need an address in the city to open an account also, this is easy after you get there. Depending on how you want to get your money there you need an address for SS also. Keep them up on your address change. You can call them from China on Magicjack if you buy and set it up before you go.
