Receiving Social Security Benefits in Taiwan

An American expat, 63, with decades of residency in Taipei will collect social security directly here. He also says his ex-wife (Taiwanese), will also collect some benefit due to marriage to an American.

Thanks and what is the source of this information?   I did finally get some official confirmation that an American citizen will get his social security benefit while living in Taiwan.  But....no definitive confirmation on his surviving spouse. 
I understand that you can get some confirmation from the US Embassy in the Philippines.

I was told by this 64 year old American who has an ARC in Taiwan. And he believes his ex-wife (Taiwanese) qualifies for partial benefits due to marriage to an American.

You may recover SS benefits anywhere except Russia, Cuba, or Vietnam.

Anyone knows best way to get cash  from Citibank account after Citi  withdraw all its ATM inTaiwan.
