I heard though, even if you have a US address on file that starting this week, you can no longer access your online account from outside the US. Is that true?
I also heard that starting this week you can no longer do any online banking from outside the US and you can no longer log in to your online account from outside the US-True??
Sorry to hear of your troubles. This whole SSA is soooo screwed up and inefficient!
Unfortunately, some of us will probably have our benefits suspended in February and will have to go thru hell to try and get them back. Very unsettling especially when this is the only income for some of us.
I wish everyone the best and if anybody ever finds the magic pill to make everything ok, please let us know.
I am in exactly the same situation as you. Never received first or second mailing, but it looks like someone just received the second notice today. His comment is above.
Well, it's now November 14th and not a single report that anyone has received a second form 7161 or 7162.
Very weird. I wonder if SSA has changed their procedure for this year. Of course, no updated info from SSA.
Same as you. Did not receive this year after always receiving them in previous years.
Horrible way to have to deal with this issue. No clarity from SSA stateside or Manila and have to wait to see if your benefits are suspended to see if you were the chosen one not to receive this year.
This whole mask thing is absurd and became this way because of politics.
Asking someone to wear a mask is no different than having a dress code at a restaurant, theatre, club, concert, play etc.
Stop the frickin politics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With almost all people saying their forms were not delivered until October, you would think that almost everybody would receive the second mailing.
As of now, not a post of anyone receiving the second mailing.
I never received the first mailing of both forms 7161 and 7162.
Is there ever a good time to call the SSA or any US government agency?
The call will only be as good as the agent who handles your call.
Please let us know what they said. Thanks! PS- I never got the first mailing of the 7161 or 7162 forms. Still waiting on the second mailing.
I am looking to replace a very old wall A/C in my bedroom at the house I rent.
I can't spend a lot of money, but I want a good unit. Need 12,000BTU.
What brand or brands to you recommend to buy here in Thailand? A lot of people said to stay away from the Thai brands or cheap brands and stick with name brands only.
Thanks for your help in advance.
