[lbo-talk] Immigration and Retirement

[Yoshie Furuhashi]

I posted:
<blockquote>
Yes, but only a handful of countries -- mostly European countries
except Chile and South Korea -- have agreements with the US:
<http://www.ssa.gov/pressoffice/factsheets/USandMexico.htm> (I'm
assuming that the list here is up-to-date).

What if you were born in Lebanon, worked in France, the US, and
Argentina, and retired in Mexico (or something like that)?</blockquote>

I just checked the most up-to-date list and realized that things had
already changed since I had talked with my lawyer about this.  Japan
is the 21st country -- of the 21 countries that have totalization
agreements with the US -- to sign one with the US -- effective 1
October 2005!
