I am retired and 77 years of age. I am a legal alien and submit annual USA tax returns.I am about to apply for USA Social Security benefits and Medicare as spousal benefits. Do I declare my UK pension on this application?
Thanks

Hi,

I think you should list it on your application if you are asked about it, but your UK pension won't affect your spousal benefits. Foreign pensions are excluded from counting as government pensions for purposes of the Government Pension Offset (GPO) provision (https://secure.ssa.gov/apps10/poms.nsf/lnx/0202608400).
