Can we withdraw Social Security

03-19-2009, 01:11 PM

Hi All,

I have been working in US for last two years on L1 visa. I will be going back when my visa expires. Most likely for good.

Wanted to know if there is a provision to withdraw social security (I am ok if it is taxable) since I was here temporarily for such a short period.

Is there any pros and cons to this?

Thanks for suggestions.

No. You can get it if you worked for 10 years in US only after you retire.

I am not a lawyer and you need to consult with one to validate any info posted on the forum and discuss your case specifics. H1b Question? Read the FAQ first.
