This form captures the direct deposit information for an account at a foreign financial institution. Our International Direct Deposit (IDD) program allows beneficiaries living abroad to have their benefits deposited to an account at a financial institution outside the U.S. Routing account number information varies slightly for each country, so we use a variation of the SF-1199 A for each country. The respondents are Social Security beneficiaries residing abroad.
