it works different out there (did when i lived oer yon) ya work n if ya pay social security, many dont, so they get sod all. if ya pay it n its quite expensive, ya have to have paid it fer a certain amount of time, forget how long, before ya even get a bean in spain, so many of these here would be buggared for even claiming.
