This is just a rehashing of the “We’re going to build a wall and Mexico is gonna pay for it”… Red meat for his willfully ignorant followers… Maga does not want a border solution they want a shiny object to scare people…

Two questions… Is there anyway to confirm that the SSA has received the 7162 form that was returned to them? What is the procedure to change one address with the SSA?… Is changing the address on one’s online account account sufficient to change address or does one actually have to file an address change in writing?

There are actually two Huen Phen restaurants… The corner is a lunch place as you describe but at night they have a diner restaurant next door that serves Traditional Thai in a museum like atmosphere…

Yeah I think I’ll just go the IDD route… Seems pretty straightforward… The one question I have is about ongoing reporting using this method?… I seem to have seen posts where you must report that you are still alive periodically… How does that work?… Can I do that via my SS.gov account?

Yeah, That is an option… Sadly I’ve led such a healthy life I’ve outlived most all of them ;-)…

Did we receive any transparency in any of his exchanges?... In November 2019, the Trump administration secured the release of American Kevin King and Australian Timothy Weeks, who were being held by the Taliban, in exchange for the release of three senior Taliban leaders being held in jails in Afghanistan. In December 2019, the U.S. did a prisoner exchange with Iran, freeing Xiyue Wang, a graduate student at Princeton University who was serving a 10-year sentence in Iran on espionage charges. To secure Wang’s release, the U.S. freed Masoud Soleimani, an Iranian scientist convicted of export violations. In July 2020, the Trump administration secured the release of Michael White, a Marine veteran jailed in Iran on charges of insulting the country’s supreme leader, in exchange for the release of a dermatologist convicted on export violations. In October 2020, a deputy assistant to Trump helped broker a deal to free two Americans being held hostage by Iranian-backed militants in Yemen in exchange for the release of about 250 Houthi rebels being held in Oman.

Hello PiB, Im interested in setting my Social Security payment up as an ACH as you describe above… I have access to my SS account online and am familiar with setting up the ACH using it…. Assume it just a matter of putting it BK Bank ACH (026008691) and my Thai Bangkok Bank account number. My question is do I need to contact Bangkok Bank and inform them that they will be getting an ACH transfer to their NY Branch from Social Security?

Like that option, bit being from the US and also having a Wise US dollar account attached that has interest income I can't see Wise letting me have the account without a US address for tax reasons... Maybe I'm over thinking this... Hopefully others from the US will chime in with their experiences..

It’s my understanding that Wise accounts must have an address in the country they are setup in… I could be wrong and if so that would be a solution… Do you have a US Wise account with a Thai primary address?

The issue is how does someone retired in Thailand work around this issue? I’m asking for advise from others who may have experienced this and how they resolved this short of moving back to the US and having a “residence”…

That works!… Thanks it’s a nice security addition

Hopefully that’s it… As Insaid I went into the app where my address is but didn’t see an “Update” option… I just hit save and it returned me to the previous page…

Has anyone been notified that a US mail forwarding address is not acceptable by Wise? If so what was your workaround?

Don’t see that option in the apps privacy security section or in notifications section?…

Why did they request you update your address?… Did you have an address that was a mail forwarding service? (Was that not acceptable) Did you have to provide documentation of your new address?

I received an email from Wise requesting me to update my address?… Not sure this is a scam email or not… I did not click on the link but went in to my Wise app and saw not similar notification (Which I think they would have.)… In the app I went to my address and see no way to “Update” my address… I just clicked save on the current address on file… The one thing that worries me is the notice states that mail forwarding addresses are not acceptable! I’ve been with Wise for years with the same US mail forwarded service address… I looked at their help section and find no statement that says a mail forwarding address in the US is not acceptable… Has anyone experienced this?… Can I change my resident address with Wise to my Thai address? Does anyone have a US Wise account with their primary address a Thai address?

Every county has their own Orange Man…

Have I got a wall to sell you!...

He’s got my Thoughts & Prayers…

The crispy pieces always look bigger as they have a thick grease filled batter coating... Which the Thais and myself love!...

In other news LeBron James has apologized for mocking to ascension…

I have had an account brokerage & checking for years… Access has never been a problem and I like their website and app interface… The one thing I would ding them for is any money not invested in the brokerage account or in the checking gets virtually no interest!… I also have a Fidelity brokerage account that is equally as good and uninvested funds get 4.85%… They also have a debit card that refunds all ATM fees (Just Like Schwab)….

We would really need to see some photos to make recommendations…

It would be nice to block any post that has the word “Trump”… But sadly that would just leave only 2-3 posts left about how to handle a Thai girlfriend with a history of STDs…

The new QR scan to pay has reduced my tipping to a trickle…
