Abstract: Form SSA-1713 collects information regarding whether, how and when a Canadian bank was able to return erroneous payments made after the death of a beneficiary who elected to have payments sent to Canada. The SSA-1713 is sent with the SSA-1712, an SSA-generated cover sheet which provides the Canadian bank with information regarding the deceased beneficiary. In this way, SSA can reclaim funds which were erroneously paid. The respondents are Canadian financial institutions to which Social Security payments have been made.
