I notarize a statement that they are alive and well, their current residence (city, state, country) etc. Some of the pensions have their own forms, some require the recipient to send their own.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">This may be a long shot, but I’m wondering if any of you have any experience with German pension payments to people who have moved permanently to the US? More particularly, clients were receiving monthly
pension payments from a German company for several years, but payments stopped coming last June. Clients have had a residence in the US for quite some time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">If anyone has any insight regarding what may be happening here and would be willing to chat with me or shoot me an email, it would be much appreciated!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
