MD - I was wondering, since it's illegal to receive SSI checks when you are living out of the country and no longer an American citizen, what the deal is with this situation.

If the person receiving SSI has used a vacation visa as a means to enter another country, and lives there beyond the date the visa has expired, and is able to work a full-time job there, although they never did here in MD.

Also, if this person is on SSI for a mental disease (bi-polar), and they no longer see a therapist, or are medicated, as they are not in the U.S. and do not have citizenship in the other country, when and if they return, are they eligible to return to receiving treatment and medication.

By not claiming citizenship elsewhere, have they found a loophole?

And to those of us remaining in the U.S., such as the co-account holder on his checking account, if he is to send the money received from SSI to the one who is out of the country, is he committing a crime?

Thanks!

Why not ask SSA ?

Also, I'm sure homeland security would be wondering why someone would be sending SSI benefits out of the Country ?
