because there were so many Vietnam veterans that ended up living in The Philippines social security opened up an office there so you can sign up for social security pensions and use the office for correspondence. They have very weird hours and almost impossible to get on the phone. But I was able to use them to enroll in my social security pension giving up lived in Thailand 18 years ready to move back to the United States, I'm done with this place with all of the changes in the government in red tape paperwork policy changes with visas and on and on and on ENOUGH ALREADY

Now is not the time to move to Thailand I'm leaving after 18 years there's too many changes going on with the government too much red tape with Visas and it's become a greedy and even more corrupt place to live

Medicare is only recognized in America and American territories like Puerto Rico and Guam not Thailand You will not be able to use Medicare in Thailand unless you are in the military You can use veterans benefits anywhere in the world similar to Medicare.

is there some way to pause Medicare part b I didn't realize this was available? I thought once you were enrolled in part b you're only other choice was to get on a advantage plan
