Romanian Embassy In Paris France?

Will France tax our disability benefits?

  • My family and I are considering relocating to France due to the terminal illness of a very close friend and also because we just feel it may be a better fit for us there. I am disabled with MS and my husband is a sevice-disabled gulf war veteran. We both receive disablity benefits (both our children receive benefits as a result of this as well). I cannot find anyone or any place to answer me if France will tax these benefits??? SSA and VA did tell me that upon opening a bank acct in France, we would be paid in Euros. The IRS has been of no help, SSA has no idea, and VA has no idea, and I have spent a fortune calling the American Embassy in Paris. Their tax person never seems to be available. Does anyone know the answer to this? There has to be someone in the world living in France whose income consists of U.S. disablity benefits? Thank you in advance for any info/advice!

  • Answer:

    I am French and live in the U.S. My husband is disabled and receive SSI but the SSA will not send the benefits oversea if we decided to move back in France..If we live the country for more than a month the benefits would be cut off.. Maybe your case is different ,but yes you would be paid in euro if the SSA pay your benefits., but compte on having half of your money because the currency change is very low. Our dollar is not worth to much this day. I do not think you would be taxes because it is not a income you make in France. I wish you my best, hope you can go live in France it is a beautiful country.
