Will I Lose My Benefits If I Become A Dual Citizen?

Larry,

I am considering applying for dual citizenship with another country. I receive SSDI and have Medicare. Will I lose my benefits if I become a dual citizen? Thank you for your help!

Hi,

No, as long as you retain your U.S. citizenship a dual citizenship would not adversely affect your benefits.

Best, Jerry
