How do I drop Medicare deductions from my Social Security checks while living abroad?

Mike *********

@Jimmy *******

cash and Veteran’s Administration Foreign Medical Program. The FMP only pays for my service connected disabilities which only covers a few things. I also have accident insurance for my motorbike to cover medical due to accidents.

@Jimmy *******

in case you have to go back and use it. If you drop it there is a massive penalty to restart. I did the same and kept mine so there would be no interruption if I had to go back to the states.

@Wayne *******

I had to sign a US IRS form stating just that with both Krungthai and Bangkok Bank. They both send those reports back to the USA.

@Sharlene ******

no. Just went back to the same one.

On another note, their system will check to see what country your IP address is coming from when completing the application and payment. So you have to be in the country of application either physically or virtually (VPN)

Also could be an internet browser issue of not popping up a window required for transaction. Try using a computer or tablet. I had this issue and had to switch from iPhone to a tablet and different browser. It went right through upon the change.

Why can't I pay my electricity bill on the same day I receive it in Thailand?

Mike *********

I just use the bill pay part of my bank app on my phone. I saved it as a favorite and it will store the account number and check the balance and fill in the amount to pay.
