Bilateral Social Security Agreement between US & Ireland
We have been able to help many Seniors to secure their entitlements from the Irish Government under the Bilateral Social Security Agreement. Don’t miss out on anything you may be entitled to either from the US or Irish Government . If you worked in Ireland prior to 1955 you may be entitled to claim a pension or other benefits. top
The Safe Home Program: Are you a Senior thinking of returning to Ireland?
The Safe Home Ireland Program is a repatriation program for Irish emigrants and has been designated by the Irish Government as the National Repatriation Program. The St. Brendan’s Village project in Mulranny, Co. Mayo is one of the more well known examples of the program. Working closely with SafeHome Ireland, EIIC has assisted clients to carefully plan a successful return to Ireland. Please contact us here at the Center for more information.
