Too bad the people who lived through the ‘dirty thirties’ are mostly gone. I remember my mom and dad telling similar stories. My mom said that through those years they lived mostly on bags of dried beans from the township trustee. Meat? Her answer would have been, “What’s that?” My dad fared a bit better because he lived on a farm.
Do I understand you to say that my husband and I have t o have separate accounts for our social securing checks? We are moving to CR in April, and I have never read this anywhere else.
“If you are receiving U.S. Social Security, once you have established a dollar account at Banco Nacional de Costa Rica or Banco de Costa Rica, you can arrange to have your monthly check deposited there. It’s routed through Irwin Trust Company of New York and arrives each month on the third or earlier if the third isn’t a business day. There’s a $6.00 monthly fee for this service (per recipient) and the funds must be deposited to an individual account, not a joint one. It works really well. “
