"(Should be) of Interest to all" by Funky Pretzel - 6.2.20
Dear Funky Pretzel,
I get the feeling you have posted the link to "Order 1778 of 1997" out of fear that this is evidence of shady dealings between the USA and the UK over the Social Security Administration.
It looks to me like a refinement of the agreements in place between the USA and UK regarding how US citizens living in the UK can receive their Social Security payments.
That's actually helpful to Americans.
See this document: https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10199.pdf
"An agreement between the United States and the United Kingdom (U.K.) improves Social Security protection for people who work or have worked in both countries. It helps many people who, without the agreement, would not be eligible for monthly retirement, disability or survivors benefits under the Social Security system of one or both countries. It also helps people who would otherwise have to pay Social Security taxes to both countries on the same earnings.
"The provisions of the agreement that eliminate double Social Security taxation became effective January 1, 1985. The provisions that permit people who meet certain conditions to use their work in both countries to qualify for benefits became effective January 1, 1988. For purposes of the agreement, references to the United Kingdom include England; Scotland; Wales; Northern Ireland; the Isle of Man; and the Channel Islands of Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, Herm and Jethow.
"The agreement covers Social Security taxes (including the U.S. Medicare portion) and Social Security retirement, disability and survivors insurance benefits. It does not cover benefits under the U.S. Medicare program or the Supplemental Security Income program.
"This booklet covers highlights of the agreement and explains how it may help you while you work and when you apply for benefits."
You can rest easy, Funky Pretzel.
Best wishes,
Close Reader
