Thanks for your input. My post refers to Thailand’s updated tax guidance: foreign-sourced income like pensions is not taxed if it’s brought into Thailand in a different tax year than when it was earned. This applies under current Revenue Department policy.
Of course, if someone remits income in the same year it's earned, that could trigger Thai tax obligations unless exempted. Always wise to consult a tax advisor.

In order to be approved for the visa in the USA or home county, it has to be in her name only for 3 months in order to apply for the visa. Once you open a thai bank account, it also has to be in separate accounts.
If you're on Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), you can generally continue to receive your benefits while living abroad, including in Thailand, as long as you meet all the eligibility rules and report your move to the Social Security Administration (SSA).
However, if you're receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI), you cannot receive SSI payments while living outside the U.S. for more than 30 days, even in a country like Thailand.
Summary:
SSDI (based on work credits): Yes, you can still receive it in Thailand.
SSI (needs-based): No, you lose eligibility after 30 days outside the U.S. (chatgpt)
