NI contributions - SAHM - Moving to the US

5 replies

R2221 · 15/12/2020 10:43

My husband's job has been at risk here and luckily they offered to move him to the US (he is a dual citizen).

I will continue to be a SAHM for the next few years. What happens to my NI contributions? Do I have to pay voluntary contribution ?

Are you unlikely to pay or be credited with less than 35 years? Are you relatively close to retirement and fairly so fairly sure there will be a state pension to claim when you get to retirement age? If you are relatively young its highly unlikely to be worth paying voluntary NI.

Think its 20 years minimum to get any pension at all.

I would pay (in fact I should but I haven’t got round to organising it and I’ve been abroad 8 years now. It’s about 700 a year I think.
