Social Security Checks

If she deposits to an AR accnt, make sure it's a dollar accnt and that the AR central bank doesn't convert to pesos first and then back to dollars. Be careful.

Unless there is some special exemption for Wire Transfers from the USG to an account holder in Argentina, then for sure the transfer will be converted from USD to ARS when it enters Argentina. I have never heard of any money that is transferred from offshore directly into an USD account in Argentina - all money passed through the central bank and is converted into ARS, and the amount of ARS is credited to the account holder. The account holder then has the option of converting it bank to USD by transferring it to their USD savings account in the ARG bank.
