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 benefits like retirement benefits from Social
Security Administration for which we pay a big share
of our earnings from every pay check.
Time is short, 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 benefits b\'cos of
agreements between their countries for SSA benefits. 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.
