Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Larry, I can tell you about the SS. My uncle worked in this country for a few years before he moved back to Germany. He collected SS from the time of his retirement to 6 months past his death! You can imagine what that phone call to SS was like!! Sometimes I wonder where they get those people. They actually said they had to talk to the SS recipient before they could make changes to his earnings!!! Didn't matter that I had mentioned the fact that he was dead, oh, 4 or 5 times!!! They mailed his checks to him to his residents in Germany. I don't know about the medicare. Take care.........Marina in Ohio > I am seriously working on moving to Panama.
