Hi, I write to you from France, where I moved at the age of 24. I have now lived half my life in this country and remain an American citizen. I have been wondering about my social security benefits. I worked on and off in the US from the age of 14 until I moved to France. I can't imagine I would have any retirement benefits, but would the meager amount I earned back then have been accounted for and what can I do to contribute to my American social security while living in France? Thanks, Kris

I have Americain and Canadian citizenship and worked inthe US for about 20 years before moving to Europe and then Canada. I have worked in Canada about 24 years and I am now 68. I claimed SS when I turned 65, but deferred my Canadian retirment payments unitl I turned 67 and fully retired in June 2015.

Dear Larry
I was born and raised in the UK, and started paying USA Social Security taxes when I moved to the USA in my late 20's and began working here as a legal alien. Many years later I became a USA citizen.
