My Thai wife and I both get Social Security benefits.  We plan moving to a different part of Thailand in a few months so we will need to notify SS of the new address.  I sent two emails asking what I needed to do to FBU.Manila[at]ssa.gov and never got an answer.  Has anyone recently changed addresses and how did you do it?  Thanks for the help.

After you actually move, email FBU Manila with the following:

 

Subject:  Change of Address

 

Beneficiary:

Last Name, First Name

Date of Birth

Place of Birth

Last Four Digits of Social Security Number (SSN)

New Mailing Address

Contact Phone Number

 

FBU Manila may or may not phone you to confirm the address change.

ssa.gov has a section for changing address. Or you can try thsi:

OP - The info I gave you is correct for your situation.

 

I am receiving SS benefits.  I changed addresses within Thailand and updated my SS mailing address by emailing FBU Manila.  FBU Manila did not phone me, but your mileage may vary.

 

How Do I Report a Change of Address?
