I think you should read it all, as I see it as a way to get people to go home. I have a neighbor who is a naturalized American, retired who is living in FL solely because SS cut his benefits in half when he lived on land he owns in Mexico. I think everybody would rather live in his own culture and any policy that encourages return is best in my book.
So you are saying that the SSA just automatically increased his payments when he moved to Florida? Have you seen these documents where he was cut or where he got an increase of 50% more? For some reason I don't bellieve this, as there are Americans who retire in Mexico with full benefits. The reason they choose Mexico is because it is cheaper to live there.
