    1. Foreign work test only applies to active recipients of SS by "a beneficiary [during the time that s/he is] younger than full retirement
    age".

    2. The rest was a gratuitous addition that you can ignore if you like.
    But the Windfall Elimination Provision will affect you (and could, theoretically, reduce your SS annuity by more than your CPP one) if you
    don't have 30 or more years of SS credit at "substantial earnings" http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/10045.html

    3. OAS has no impact on WEP or SS.

    4. Border workers and those few families that live on homes straddling
    the border have to take special care in matters of residence and work
    not to fall foul of these arcane rules.

    If Social Security Benefit is withheld due to failure of the FWT are these benefits ever recoverable or are they lost forever?
