I have worked in the USA for 5 years on a TN1 Visa and have contributed over $40,000 into Social Security. Am I able to get this money back?

Answer:

Yes, The Social Security eligibility rules allow TN Visa workers who pay into the system to qualify for benefits even if they are not U.S. citizens. USA and Canada have a treaty agreement, you may still get some money from Social Security through the Canadian system, as long as you meet certain requirements. Contact a cross border tax specialist to help you through the process. List of US Canada Tax Accountants
