Tax Implications after five years

My partner and I have lived here for just over five years.  She is an expat, and is paid in US dollars, with her company managing all of the taxes.  I am concerned that she is still paying FICA, yet I've read that you don't get credit for expat earnings after five years.  Does anyone have any experience with this? Will she still have to pay FICA, even though the earnings are not credited?  Just doesn't seem right . . .  Thanks for any input!

Your partner should contact her payroll office and ask about the social security and medicare withholding. It sounds like she may have come to the 5 year limit of the "detached worker" rule and you should find out what her company is doing about it.
