"Notice to SSA beneficiaries in Vietnam

The Social Security Administration has notified us that as of January 1,  2015,  SSA beneficiaries will only need to visit the Consular Section at the U.S. Embassy in Hanoi or the U.S. Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City once every three months to sign for their benefits instead of every month.  Benefits will continue being delivered on their regular schedule.  If you have questions about the change or any other non-emergency U.S. citizen service,  you can contact us at http://vietnam.usembassy.gov/contact_acs.html in Hanoi or http://hochiminh.usconsulate.gov/contact_acs.html in Ho Chi Minh City."

If you collect benefits from the Canadian or UK governments you can relax, they don't care where you live or bank.

And the US Government thinks I live in a mail box - and have done for decades - and they are none the wiser.
