I’ve been working for about 3 years with green card in US.I’d like to retire early(10 years; 7 years to go)and go back to Korea.

In this caes,I don’t know if I could get some pension from government.

Also,I have pension from company after 5 years of service.how much I get after resign.Do I get 80% of my last anual salary every month until I die?

Pension from the government? Do you mean it by social security benefit?
How many years have you worked in the US? I’m not sure it’s 20 or 30years of work to be eligible enjoy the SS. But once you fulfill the required years of work with paying SS, you can get social security benefit when you retire at age of 65 (It will be 67 or 70 later since the govn’t is trying to reduce the social sec. payback -> By reducing the years that recipents can enjoy the benefit, the govn,t can reduce their debt, social security. Yea…they really want us to die early. You can also have “limited social security benefit”,if you retire at 62. I guess you have to come to the US once every six month to be eligible to get the US SS benefit if you are going to live in Korea.

You need to work at least 10 years in US to receive Social Security benefit. Also you need to stay in the US to get the benefit.
If you want to retire early, you need to plan early and thoroughly. I think you need to study about all the benefits from Goverment and your Company.

1)I guess you have to come to the US once every six month to be eligible to get the US SS benefit if you are going to live in Korea.
you need to stay in the US to get the benefit.

앞에서도 답을 했지만 (10699 미국 국민연금 대 한국 국민연금..), 한미 사회보장 협정에 의해, 미국에서 10년을 채우지 않더라도 한국에서의 국민연금 가입 기간을 합쳐서 10년 이상이 되면 미국의 연금을 받을 수 있습니다. 물론 미국 자체로 10년이 넘으면, 그것만으로도 미국 연금을 받을 수 있구요.

받는 연금액수는 기본적으로 일한 각 년도의 inflation 등을 고려한 상위 35년간의 수입을 기준으로 산정하기 때문에, 일한 기간이 짧으면 연금 액수도 적어집니다.

만약 한국 국민연금도 받게 되면, 미국 연금 액수가 줄어들게 되어 있습니다.

한국 사람은 미국에 살지 않더라도, 미국에 6개월에 한번씩 오지 않더라도, 또 미국 시민권자/영주권자가 아니라도 미국 연금을 받을 수 있습니다.
