A) You do not have to be in America to receive your Social Security retirement benefits.

According to Social Security Administration – You can apply for your benefits 3 months before you turn 62 if you want your payments to start at that age.

Throughout the world, there are a number of American embassies and consulates who have specially trained personnel that provide a full range of Social Security services, including the taking of applications for benefits.
