Can an LPR continue to receive benefits while he or she is out of the country?
If an LPR plans to be out of the country for longer than a month, he should check with the agency providing the benefit to determine the rules. In general, people are not allowed to receive many benefits if they are absent from the country or state of residence for longer than 30 days. If an LPR receives benefits improperly, it can hurt his chances of re-entering the U.S. or becoming a citizen.
