How should I apply for social security funds in the United States after retiring with an American green card?

After retirement, American green card holders can apply online, contact the social security office by phone to apply for social security funds, or go to the social security office with relevant materials in person.

To apply for social security fund, you must first know whether you meet the requirements. It may waste your time to apply rashly. Let's look at the specific situation. First, you need to reach retirement age. According to the relevant laws promulgated by the United States, people over 62 can apply for social security funds, but it should be noted that at the age of 62, they can only receive 75% of the full social security funds. Only when you reach the age of 66 10 months can you receive a full pension. Second, you need to get 40 social security credit points. People born after 1929 can accumulate up to 4 social security credits every year, and they need to work for at least 10 years to meet the standards. The integral standard is different every year. For example, if the income reaches $65,438 +0,4 1 0 in 2020, you will get 1, and if the income increases to $65,438+0,438+0 in 2026, you will get1.

According to the above requirements, the minimum requirement for receiving social security payments in the United States is to reach retirement age and work for at least ten years before receiving them.

Special conditions? In addition to meeting the appeal conditions, there are two types of special personnel who can receive social security funds even if they do not meet the conditions. First, even if the social security credit score of the person who died accidentally at work does not reach 40, his spouse and children can also receive social security funds. Second, workers who are unable to engage in labor due to physical defects can receive social security funds through disability benefits.

Required materials to apply for social security fund, you need to prepare the applicant's social security number, birth certificate, W-2 form or tax application form for the last year of self-employment and the applicant's bank account information.

Note: Most American green card holders are not American citizens. In addition to American citizens and a few areas that have reciprocal policies with the United States, American social security funds can also be enjoyed overseas. Holders of American green cards who meet the requirements in China, including Hongkong, Macau and Taiwan Province provinces, will be stopped from paying social security funds if they leave the United States for more than six months.

I hope the above answers can help you.
