  Dear friends,

  As you all know that now INDIAN population in US is
  increasing and we should be eligible for all the
  benefits that we are suppose to get in case we live
  here. But due to some conditions we might have to
  go back to our home land, ..still we should get our
  basic
  benifits like retirement benifits from Social
  Security Administration for which we pay a big share
  of our
  earnings from every pay check.

  I just noticed it today that SSA site
  has asked our suggestion regarding this before 31st
  July 2001. Currently 18 country workers who worked
  in both countries are getting benifits bcos of
  agreements between their countries for SSA benifits.
  Our
  country is not in list, we need to speed up to raise
  our
  voice. So please go to below link to read more
  about it and raise your voice by sending an
  email/Phone/
  Fax or mail. Here are the links and contact
  details.

  Subject: International Agreements for Social
  Security
  Include India

  Dear Sir/Madam,

  In past 10 years many young workers came from INDIA
  and there are lot many to come in near future. Not
  all
  of them settle in US due to various reasons. During
  this time they share their earnings paying SS TAX.
  They might retire in INDIA and they should have some
  way to be eligible to get their SS benifits. INDIA
  also has PERSONNAL PROVIDENT FUND program similar to
  Social Secutiry in USA. We urge US govt to make
  agreement with INDIA regarding Social Security
  Benefits.

  I think that an Indian Citizen who has worked in US
  and has paid his/her share of SS tax should receive
  SS benefits even if he/she is residing outside US.
  I have noticed that this kind of benefits are
  available for so many other countries in the world
  but not for India!! I would like to see India in
  this list.

  Thank you.

  Regards,
