If you live in Another Country, you may still receive your Social Security check for the duration of your eligibility; however, there are some countries where US Government checks or deposits are prohibited or restricted. If you live in one of these countries, your benefits will stop until you relocate to an unrestricted country, at which time you will also receive any back payments missed.

You cannot receive payments at all while living in Cubaor North Korea.

You may be able to get an exception through the US Embassy under certain circumstances if you live in "Cambodia, Vietnam or areas that were in the former Soviet Union(other than Armenia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Russia)."

The SSA cannot send checks to a designated proxy.

The answer is yes, unless you are living in a few certain countries that the U.S. Treasury bans payments to. Some of these countries include Cambodia, Cuba, North Korea, Ukraine, and Vietnam. It would be a good idea to check with the Social Security Administration to make sure that the country you plan on moving to isn't one that is banned.
