Default Social security?

If you move out of the country do you lose your social security benifits?

From SS directly: My uncle went thru the same thing while living in Manila

If you are a U.S. citizen, you may receive your Social Security payments outside the United States as long as you are eligible for them.
However, there are certain countries to which we are not allowed to send payments.
If you are a citizen of one of the countries listed in Country List 1 , Social Security payments will keep coming no matter how long you stay outside the United States, as long as you are eligible for the payments.
If you are a citizen of one of the countries listed in Country List 2, you also may receive your payments as long as you are outside the United States, unless you are receiving your payments as a dependent or survivor. In that case, there are additional requirements you have to meet.
If you are not a U.S. citizen or a citizen of one of the other countries listed in Country List 1 and Country List 2, your payments will stop after you have been outside the United States for six full calendar months unless you meet one of the following exceptions:
  • You were eligible for monthly Social Security benefits for December 1956; or
  • You are in the active military or naval service of the United States; or
  • The worker on whose record your benefits are based had railroad work treated as covered employment by the Social Security program; or
  • The worker on whose record your benefits are based died while in the U.S. military service or as a result of a service-connected disability and was not dishonorably discharged; or
  • You are a resident of a country with which the United States has a Social Security agreement. Currently these countries are listed in Country List 3. However, the agreements with Austria, Belgium, Germany, Sweden and Switzerland permit you to receive benefits as a dependent or survivor of a worker while you reside in the foreign country. This is true only if the worker is (or was at the time of death) a U.S. citizen or a citizen of your country of residence; or
  • You are a citizen of one of the countries in Country List 4, and the worker on whose record your benefits are based lived in the United States for at least 10 years or earned at least 40 credits under the U.S. Social Security system. If you are receiving benefits as a dependent or survivor, see additional requirements.

Good to hear, I almost swung by your place this morning just to make sure. On a related note I just got my carry permit last week and the probate judge indicated there has been a phenomenal increase in permit applications this year. I'm not chicken little but I was a boy scout and the "be prepared" has always stuck ( apparently except at the track when I discover I've left at home every widget I need, guess I need a bigger trailer).
