March 2025 US SS payment

[flexomike]

Just got an SMS mesage that my March SS payment has been deposited.  I use Bangkok Bank with direct deposit from the NY Branch by ACH. Deposit seems about 1000 short. The SMS message says Prompt Pay transfer to your account via IBANKING. Never received this type of  message before has always said Deposit/transfer to your account via AUTO. Anyone else experience this? I will be going to the bank tomorrow to see if they can explain the difference. And hopefully it still says FTT, as I use the monthly method for Immigration.

Mine arrived IDD (not via NY), @  10:16 Mar 3 @ ฿33.5145 

 

For others, as noted on link above, tagged as BAHTNET, and you do get 'credit advice' for IMM as I use the monthly deposit method for ret visa ext.

 

Did the IDD deposit via Manila, and very easy, since not having an online acct w/ SS.

Does the credit advice come to you automatically or do you have to go to the bank and get one. Also is this free or is there a monthly charge for it?

I go to the bank and get them, year's worth a week or so before extending.   If you go every 6 months, they can give it to you on the spot & free.  That may be location dependent.   Other wise I think it's 300 for the 3 sets of docs needed; balance statement, full account statement (dep & cred) & the 12 credit advices.
