• Any suggestions?

Why do you want to contact the SSA Central Customer service?    Did you monthly payment stop, want to change direct deposit bank, etc...etc...etc?  

 

Why not contact the Manila SSA Office which is responsible for this part of the world?   They can work any issue/problem you have....actually, more than the central customer service could probably do as the central customer service is focus on people living in the U.S. and typical type issues people may have with SS in the U.S.

Recommend you contract them via email "and be sure to include the identifying info they recommend you provide otherwise you may never get a response.  And trying to call them during the limited days/hours they accept calls is probably a losing bet due to the volume of calls and limited call hours.

 

 

Very concerned Melon Musk and Agent Orange have made a mess of SS. I usually get the form by now and in 20 years have never had a problem. I'll wait for a week and then fill in and mail a blank form (DO NOT FORGET TO WRITE IN YOUR SS# upper right). If the form comes later, I'll mail that one, too, but I don't think EMS is worth it since it has to be signed and may delay the process. If you can't get through telephone service which is likely now that the fascists are shaking us down then Manilla's email usually works to confirm it has been received. Calls may or may not get through. Email them around September. If you don't get an answer, send in a 2nd or 3rd form. Please let us know if when you get your 7162 in Chiang Mai. Good luck, boys.

Uh oh. I found a copy of my 7162 for 2024. It was mailed from US June 6 and received in Chiang Mai and mailed back in the envelope June 16. I'm going to use it as a template to make one for 2025 and mail it asap. Or I'll fill in a blank if it doesn't look good enough.
