U.S. Social Security Pension - Are you leaving Money on the Table?
If you worked in the United States and paid into the Social Security system, you may be entitled to receive a Social Security pension, even if you now live in Israel. Many people mistakenly believe they don’t qualify, sometimes because they received a letter saying they are not eligible. There are many situations where benefits can still be claimed.
Who Can Qualify?
~ Work Credits
Anyone who has earned at least 40 work credits (about 10 years of work in the U.S.) is potentially eligible for benefits.
~ Retirement Age
Partial benefits are available from age 62, with full benefits at age 67.
~ Citizenship
U.S. citizenship is not required. If you have a valid Social Security Number and meet the requirements, you may qualify.
~ Spousal Benefits
A non-citizen spouse may be eligible for up to 50% of their partner’s benefit, even if they never worked in the U.S. themselves.
Why This Matters:
For many, Social Security can provide a significant monthly income in retirement. Even if you live outside the United States, these benefits may still be available to you. They can help ease financial pressures and provide long-term stability for you and your family.
Common Misunderstandings:
~ “I don’t qualify because I don’t live in the U.S.”
Answer: Not true. Many people receive Social Security benefits while living abroad.
~ “I got a letter saying I’m not entitled.”
Answer:Often this is based on incomplete or misunderstood records. A professional review may reveal you are eligible.
“I didn’t work enough years.”
Answer: Even if you don’t have 40 credits, spousal or partial benefits may still apply.
Take the Next Step:
Even if you are convinced you don’t qualify, it’s worth checking. Many people are surprised to discover they are eligible after all.
US Benefits has helped hundreds of clients successfully unlock money they didn’t know they were entitled to, with trust, expertise, and proven results.”
