Good day,
Thanks for the web site, I was born in Canada and just recently became a US Citizen, will that affect my Social security amount, will that eliminate the WEP. Since I am a now a US citizen I feel that I should get my full benefits and not only the percent calculation I am receiving now. Thanks for your time.

Hi,

Your citizenship status would almost certainly not affect your benefit rate, but it wouldn't hurt to check with Social Security. Becoming a US Citizen would definitely not exempt you from the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP), however.

Best, Jerry
