Question

Can you live in another country and still recieve SSDI benefits?

Answer 1

NO... if you are receiving disability payments and you move to another country, such as Mexico... the payments will STOP after 30 days.  I was talking to a guy and his wife who brought their boat into the marina this past winter and then found out their disability payments were going to be stopped after 30 days.

Answer 2

yes why not expecially if you used to be part of the armed forces.

Answer 3

You need to contact S.S.  and ASK.  S.S. retirement benefits do NOT stop if  a person moves out of the country...so I don't know about the disability benefits.  I would not take anyone's word for it...just call and ask to be sure.  I know they cannot send checks out of the country, so your check must be deposited in a U.S. bank.
