(8,542 posts)Why shouldn't they get that money back? I'm sorry but maybe you don't understand that you have to work at least 40 quarters in the US to get SS and Medicare paid back to you. Otherwise, it's gone. My husband is naturalized and he has not worked the 40 quarters yet. He pays a high percentage of his income in taxes and to say he shouldn't quality for those benefits is unfair. Not only that but for the past decade, we've had to file our taxes from abroad and received no benefit from those tax payments from foreign income. No highway usage, no kids in schools, etc. It doesn't matter where you live in the world, the US is the only country in the world that makes you report your income when you don't live in the country. How about ending that b.s. that only hurts the working stiffs in the world and not the billionaires.
