If you're reading this, there is a strong chance that you
are one of the many people who have divided their careers between
France and the United States and are now wondering how to go about
claiming your retirement benefits.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) and the French
Sécurité Sociale are used to dealing with people who
have spent their entire career in one or the other country and they
can offer helpful advice about the best time to retire or how much
you can expect to receive from Social Security.
But getting reliable retirement advice when dealing with careers
split between both countries is far more difficult, as officials
from both administrations are generally not aware of how retirement
benefits work in the other country nor what is in the best interest
of the soon-to-be retiree.
