So I’m thinking to go ahead and apply for US social security. It’s time.
I have Japanese credits as well in the Japanese pension system.
As many of you know the US and Japan have a reciprocal agreement. So I can combine for who knows how much of a larger monthly payment.
I contacted the US Embassy in Tokyo and they said I have to have the Japanese pension office start the process. I apply there and they forward it to the SS Administration.
Went to by local pension office and they had no idea what I was talking about.
Can some kind person walk me through this process please?
