Has anyone looked at your US benefits and receiving them in a different country? Is SS and Medicare paid if you are living in a different country after you retire?

SS is paid, but I believe taxed by both countries (US & the one you live in). I dont think Medicare covers you living abroad.

After I get dual citizenship, our plan is to move to Canada sooner rather than later. We want to end up both being dual, so we can live in either country whenever we want without the worry of losing status.

I did not vote as we too have discussed things. We will stay in the US for likely at least 5 to 10 years and then think about moving to Canada. It all will depend on circumstances so no solid timeframe or even for sure if we would move or just spend time in Canada.

At the point of retirement, we wish to split our time between the US and Canada. However, I agree with Penguin_ie that if anything happened to my SO before then, I would move back to Canada immediately.

Probably stay here, job opportunities are much better for both of us here (and it's hard enough being across the *country* from my family, let alone an ocean, but he's not as close to his family as I am to mine), but if something happened to me he'd probably move back to the UK.
