In our continued series on Social Security Benefits from our Private Client Roundtable earlier this year, we dig deeper into Social Security benefits provided to Non-US Citizens. There are a few small hurdles, but all easy.

Here are the keys to a Non-US citizenship benefits for Social Security:
- Must be here legally as a permanent resident (of course, but this is a mandate and was mentioned at the event)
- Qualifications based on earnings contributions just as a regular citizen would
- Same spousal benefits apply for Non-US citizens if they were not an income earner here (Very cool benefit .. thank you USA)
- Non Citizen and live outside of the USA, MAY not be eligible for benefit
Have a Great Day!
