Understanding the Closer Connection Test: Beyond the 183-Day Rule
Key Factors Evaluated in the Closer Connection Analysis
Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I still own a home in the U.S. and pass the closer connection test?
Yes, you can own property in the U.S., but it should not be your principal or primary home. The facts and circumstances must show your Puerto Rico residence is your main home. Our review can help analyze the strength of your position.
How does having family in the U.S. affect the test?
The location of your immediate family (spouse and minor children) is a significant factor. If they remain in the U.S., it can weigh heavily against you. Our analysis considers these familial ties in your overall compliance picture.
Is the closer connection test a one-time assessment?
No, the closer connection test is an ongoing requirement. Your circumstances must support your claim of Puerto Rico residency for every year you claim Act 60 benefits. Regular compliance checks are crucial.
