- This is not true. The formular is *public* information and could be
- obtained by contacting your local SS office. When I was in Italy about
- 13 years ago I met a retired Dutch man. He had been working in USA for
- about 10 years and as the result of it was collecting US Social Security.
- As he explained to me, he worked in the USA from the age of 35 to 45.
- He started collecting SS when he reached 65 however. He never applied
- for a US Citezenship.
-
- I don't have the current formula or length of time one should be
- working in USA to earn SS benefits when one is 65 years old. I've
- been working in USA for about 13 years and not retiring yet, so I'll
- make the minimum. Therefore I don't need the exact information on
- SS benefits. But it looks like you do. So why don't you get the
- information from a real source and not from "I heard" and post it
- here for the benefit of others.
-
- I am sorry if my message is a little bit "personnal", but this is
- the second time you are posting the information that is simply not
- true.
-
- Good luck and welcome to the USA,
- Sasha.
