Social Security Explained, 2009 Edition 
Provides a comprehensive and detailed explanation for the federal old-age, survivor's and disability insurance segments of the Social Security program.
The Social Security Administration has removed Vietnam and Democratic Kampuchea (now Cambodia) from the list of countries in 20 CFR §404.460(c)(3) to which Social Security benefits may not be sent under restrictions imposed by the Department of the Treasury. This revision reflects published Treasury regulations in 1996 and 2001 that removed the restrictions on sending federal payments to beneficiaries living in those countries. In addition, the SSA is updating the citation for Treasury's authority to restrict payments to beneficiaries living in certain countries. The regulations at 20 CFR §460(b)(2)(ii), (c)(1) and (c)(2) are revised to refer to the appropriate statute. A typographical error in the heading to Reg. §404.460 is also corrected. The regulation became effective on September 25, 2009.
The full text of the SSA's announcement was published in the September 25, 2009, Federal Register (74 Fed. Reg. 48855).
