2025 SSA Form 7162 - "Hello, are you dead yet?" forms.
The requirement itself is questionable, as has been repeatedly noted: if an American dies in Thailand, the Thai government is obligated to report it immediately to the U.S. Embassy. Problem solved. Alternatively, the process could be handled online, an idea that, apparently, remains far too advanced for the SSA’s “modernization” efforts. Since the arrival of Commissioner Bisignano and the subsequent influence of Musk’s merry cadre of DOGE “efficiency” enthusiasts, the SSA’s operational competence has undergone a remarkable transformation. The former system at least functioned in a vaguely coherent way. It has been replaced with a model that could best be described as bureaucaratic incompetence. So, in the worst-case scenario, am I expected to stay up all night to call the SSA during U.S. Eastern Time hours, attempt my luck with the uber-charming personalities at the Manila FBU, or navigate the International Operations department? Based on past experience, I suspect the most accurate and timely information will come from this forum, rather than from the agency charged with providing it. -

Well, hats off, that really is excellent news. Hopefully, it should be finished and delivered just about in time to be of no strategic import, whatsoever. -
