I have a friend that is retired and collecting social security. She want to move to south america where it is a lot cheaper to live. She asked me if she could still collect her social security if she moves out of the country but doesn't give up her citizenship here.

A citizen can continue to receive their Social Security checks unless they move to Cuba or North Korea certain countries which are, or were, under communist rule.
OK - I've done some googling. She needs to google "Payments Outside the United States" if she will be outside of the United States for six consecutive months or more.

Yes, thousands of retired people do this.
