Your Payments When You Are Outside The United States - Country List 3

 

Your payments will continue even if you have been outside the U.S. for more than six full calendar months, if you are a resident of a country with which the U.S. has a Social Security agreement. Currently, these countries are:

Australia Germany Netherlands
Austria Greece Norway
Belgium Ireland Portugal
Canada Italy Spain
Chile Japan Sweden
Finland Korea (South) Switzerland
France Luxembourg United Kingdom

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 only if the worker is a U.S. citizen or a citizen of your country of residence.
