If I become a DR resident, will I have to pay DR taxes on my US Social Security benefits?

I have it in my head that the answer is "no," but I haven't been able to find this written down anywhere. Can anyone say yay or nay for sure?

Thank you!

Actually the answer is no. Pension income is not taxable here.
