Well, this is good news for me.

Does anyone know the answer to this question?
- Let's say you have 15 yrs from US, 10 yrs from Jpn. You live in Jpn, so you start claiming nenkin in Jpn. Then down the road, you decide to move to the US. Can you then seamlessly transition from nenkin to Social Security from that point forward?
