Kwaibill Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I don’t see the health topic listed. My concern is my wife wants to know what she can do if I still live but become too disabled to deal with US Social Security myself in order to keep payments coming. I have survived two strokes reasonably well, but one never knows what is next in the karma menu. Advice on the subject or direction to the proper forum greatly appreciated.

KhunLA Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Give her POA, this will enable her to fill out & sign your SS pulse check (7162) every year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this should go to the Home Country forum under USA as it seems to be more of a Social Security question rather than health. That forum has a lot of useful Social Security info. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I should tell her to make copies of the POA and send one along with such documents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, if you are currently residing in Thailand you need to go through the Manila FBU office: https://ph.usembassy.gov/social-security-administration/?_ga=2.248547716.2085155985.1687836031-1412800304.1687836030 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
