naturalization and social security?
Does becoming a naturalized Mexican effect getting Social Security payments from US?

Not a problem, Cranskin------------just sneak back across the border to the good ol USA and you will be assured of SS regardless of your
nationality-------just ask one of those pinheads in Congress!!!
But, having said that, I really don't know the answer to your question, but am curious.

Nothing affects SS payments. Cannot be revoked. Only garnished by the federal government for back taxes or child support.

Does not appear to be a problem getting it sent to Mexico.
www.socialsecurity.gov -
"If you are a U.S. citizen, you may receive your Social Security payments outside the U.S. as long as you are eligible for them. Regardless of your
citizenship, there are certain countries where we are not allowed to send payments. For more information, please visit our website at: http://www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10137.html "
From there, looks like N. Korea, Cuba and these are restricted from sending payments Cambodia, Vietnam or areas that were in the former Soviet Union
(other than Armenia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Russia).

Not SSI. You arn't even allowed to be living in Mexico if you receive SSI.
SSI is a type of welfare for those who have nothing else. Believe me, you won't be allowed to bask in the Baja sun while receiving welfare.
SSI --- Supplimental Security Income

OOPS !
I knew a Gringa South of San Felipe who made the mistake of changing her address for her SSI Checks to her San Felipe P.O. Box. She received a notice
that they were suspending her payments. She went back to the states to get it corrected. Haven't seen her since.

I had a gringo real estate agent in Sonora tell me about a D.A.V. who became "inmigrado" in Mexico, developed lung cancer and was never able to
re-establish vets benefits in time before he croaked. supposedly, he was now at the back of the line for services, once he came up as no longer a US
citizen.
Keep in mind, this was told to me by a real estate agent.

Just finished getting set up with VA for medical benefits and from reading the material, being a citizen is NOT a requirement for benefits - just
being a veteran is all that's required.

Full crap. I'm 100% rated and if there was any interference, I'd make a call. Interference gone.

"Immigrado" status doesn't mean you're forfeiting your US citizenship. The only consequence of any significance is that you lose the protection of the
US Consulate while in Mexico. Big loss.

The SS office tells me that I have to give them my MX address even though I maintain a US mailing address, and my checks are
direct deposited to Bancommer USA. Does anyone else give them their address? Also does anyone register with the US Consulate when they live in
Mexico? I am speaking from the perspective of living year round in Baja Sur. CaboRon
