International Direct Deposit

SSA's International Direct Deposit (IDD) Program allows beneficiaries living abroad to receive their payments via direct deposit to an account at a financial institution outside the United States. SSA uses Form SSA-1199-(Country) to obtain the direct deposit information for such foreign accounts, and enroll title II beneficiaries residing abroad in IDD. Routing account number information varies slightly for each foreign country, so we use a variation of the Treasury Department's Form SF–1199A for each country. The respondents are Social Security beneficiaries residing abroad who want SSA to deposit their benefits payments directly to a foreign financial institution.

The latest form for International Direct Deposit expires 2026-07-31 and is listed under ICR 202203-0960-005.
