    There’s no lump sum option for a military pension, at least not in the US, and renouncing citizenship also forfeits any future pension or social security entitlements.

    Edit: VA and healthcare benefits too.

      AFAIK, once you qualify for Social Security, you get it even if you stop being a citizen. I looked into it at some point as I plan to renounce once my parents pass (I already live overseas)

        I’ve never heard of it. Doesn’t that require the pension to have a buy-out value? Military pension doesn’t have that.
