新西兰的养老金领取者因为美国社会保障金削减了他们的地方福利而心烦意乱。 New Zealand pensioners upset as U.S. Social Security payments cut their local benefits.

在美国工作的新西兰的养老金领取者心烦意乱,因为他们的美国社会保障金降低了他们的新西兰退休金福利。 Pensioners in New Zealand who worked in the U.S. are upset because their U.S. Social Security payments reduce their New Zealand Superannuation benefits. 他们辩称,由于他们在这两个国家都纳税,他们应该从这两个国家获得全部好处。 They argue that since they paid taxes in both countries, they should receive full benefits from both. 然而,新西兰政府没有计划改变现行制度,现行制度抵消了基于海外养恤金收入的新西兰退休金。 The New Zealand government, however, has no plans to change the current system, which offsets NZ Superannuation based on overseas pension receipts.
