  1. I have been having my SS. checks deposited directly to Direct Express Then I transfer money to my US bank and to my Bangkok Bank account. I have been trying to get my SS. check deposited into my US bank for fear Direct Express will not have the IAT setup.

    I tried to change the deposit on the SS. website and received a confirmation that it was done but when I checked again it still showed my SS checks going to DirectExpress. I called SS in USA and was told there was nothing they could do on the phone. I explained I changed my method of deposit and received a confirmation but they still said there was nothing they could do

     

    I have called and E mailed 2 times over the past month and get no response. Has anyone else had a problem with changing from DirectExpress to another bank ????  

  2. i have both an IRS.gov and a SSA.gov. accounts that i set while living here in Thailand. I also have a US Skype number that i use for all such purposes such as call backs and sms's. I do have VPN but don't have to use it to get thru. I think the problem you and others are having is not a valid us phone number. I use a US postal address and my US skype number and have enrolled in both programs with no problem.

     

    For your info the skype number costs $ 52.00 per year and is renewable every year. Hope this helps

  3. It's really very simple, you must go into the Bangkok Bank branch and tell the clerk you want to trsnsfer money out of Thailand to wherever.

    You then fill out a form stating whom you are sending the money to, their account number and swift number. You hand the clerk the money and she gives you a copy of the transfer. Usually takes 3 days. Hope this helps
