Law jobs in Brazil? by Hairy

US Soc. Sec. income by ghuddles1
Are there any expats here living in larger metropolitan areas who receive Soc Sec income? Do you have the funds deposited in the US and then transfered or will they deposit to a Brazillian bank with an office in the US. How much do you loose in the ...
You should also check with the US consulate closest to the Brazilian city you'll live in (or live in), if possible. I heard once of someone collecting checks from the consulate. This was years ago and could be wrong information. I've also seen ... Read More
