Bonus!! Renunciation and US Social Security
I renounced earlier this year, totally tax compliant.
I have at least 40 quarters of SS pay in.
I am approaching my 70th birthday.
I am a citizen (and resident) of Australia.
How do I apply for SS?
Can they direct deposit to my Australian bank?
If not, is receiving a cheque the only method available?
If tax is withheld (85%/39%) can I claim it back? How? I no longer file as I am no longer a citizen.
