Hi all,

I am a US Citizen for the last few months. As a family we have decided to go back to the India where I originally came from. I would like to know who all I have to inform here in the US before I go. Is there a checklist. Also, do I have to notify any authorities in India too? Please let me know.

Appreciate your help.

Thanks.

Before you go, when you became a Citizen, did you inform Social Security
to update your staus as a US citizen?
If you did not, do so now. So that you could get your Social Security Benefit is you are retired. You could cash the weekly or monthly checks at the US consulate.
 
I haven't informed Social security after becoming a citizen. Was ignorant of that fact. Thanks for informing me. Planning to inform them this week. Will this take care of not getting jury duty? Thanks!
 
I just updated Social Security records with my American citizenship. I didn't want to confuse the SSA agent saying that I will be moving out of the country while updating with citizenship status. I plan on going again after two weeks and inform them.

You dont have to tell Social Sec..you will be out of the country.

Register only with State Dept.... www.state.gov
Also when you get to INDIA, go to the US embassy and Register your name and address in this way incase of Emergency, they can assist you.

But if you want you can find out from Social Security about your benefits....
They will tell you how you can access that from INDIA
 
If you don't update your mailing address with Social Security, then the annual SS summary statement will get sent to your old USA address... where you WON'T be living anymore.

Actually I think it is a good idea to update SSA with your Indian (or other country) address so that you can get the annual statement there.

Any thoughts?
