Any ideas on how to initiate claiming retirement money from another country? A friend of mine was a cop in Puerto Rico many years ago and at some point, he retired and came to the US. He has 10 years of retirement money coming ( back pay) and is eligable for his monthly check. He can't go to Puerto Rico, ( he has some reasons I'm not aware of) BUT..is there a way that he could initiate the process from the US? Could he hire a lawyer to contact another lawyer in Puerto Rico? Should he get a councilman or representative to help him? Is it necessary for him to go to Puerto Rico himself, or can he do this from the states? If so, do you have any suggestions on how he could get this going? (There's quite a chunk of change, sitting in his retirement fund, to not claim!) Thanks for your suggestions..

I am replanning my retirement due to difficult circumstances; can somebody help and give me ideas??? Because of health problems I had to retire at age 40 about 18 years ago from IBM Dubai. So far I have been relying on banks and live from whatever little returns I got because my 'handshake' stayed in tact. I would like to maximize my earnings with minimum risk involvment. Also I can work from home. A combination of both should in my opinion give me a comfortable life in Pakistan. My responsibilities are minimul. I live at my own home with mother and sister. No tax obligations either. I am on the net exploring all possibilities before I take any decisions about investing but I can start working from home rightaway if you guide me. I can devote all my time in the day to such an activity. I have got a new notebook with a broadband connection. If I get encouraging response I can exert more effort. I can move to another country if you like me to assist you in your business; might need a little training. Feel free to discuss, even emigration and long term relationship with a kind lady!!!!
