Advice needed! SSI payments stopped

[steveinbsas]

tl the problem is i never got the form in the mail this year...dont have the original i think i will try to send a signed form via dhl.

So, specifically, what form are you going to send to the embassy via DHL?

If you have a photcopy of a previous year's form, I can explain how to modify and send a PDF of it via WhatsApp to someone you know in the US. I used a previous years form the first time my benefits were suspended.

FOREIGN ENFORCEMENT QUESTIONNAIRE (FEQ) – SSA-7161 AND SSA-7162​

In addition to relying on beneficiaries (a retired person or family member) to report events that may affect their benefits, SSA contacts beneficiaries outside the United States annually or biennially (every two years) to verify their current status if they have a foreign address on record.

SSA contacts beneficiaries by sending the Foreign Enforcement Questionnaire (SSA-7161/SSA-7162) that should be returned within 60 days. If it is not send back, benefits are suspended.

We can help you get your benefits reinstated when this happens and the quickest way to do that is by following these steps:

Send us an email to [email protected] using as subject: FEQ-country where you live-last name of the worker’s record under which you receive benefits (sample: FEQ-Argentina-Doe) and add the following information:

• • Complete name of the beneficiary that did not receive the monthly payment.
  • Last 4 digits of the SSN under which benefits are paid
  • Two phone numbers
  • Address
  • Reason for the email: Non receipt of monthly benefit

Wait for a response within 5 business days. If the reason for suspension of payment is the non-return of the Foreign Enforcement Questionnaire, The Federal Benefits Unit will send you by email a blank form for your completion and signature. You will have to send the form back by postal mail. We will send instructions in our response.

After submitting the form with the correspondent ID, we will reinstate the benefits within the next 10 business days.

My opinion......another reason to NOT change social security payments out of the U.S....period. This person is paying the price and of course I am sorry for that......for the next sole....leave your business in the U. S.
