report a marriage to USA

[keithet]

I'm a US citizen I got married to a Thai. I'm on SSDI. I saw I need to report change in marital status with SSA. I can't find any info on what form I need. Does anyone know what form I need?

Oh ya I'm in Thailand.

Here's one such form:

You could ask ACS at the Embassy for a form. They do some SS stuff, but they indicate it's limited as to what they do.

Contact the SS Office that serves Thailand. It's in Manila. I found them very helpful.

Once a year you get a SS form, making sure you're still alive, sent to you. On that form you indicate any personal changes. It doesn't change anything.

I don't think you need to do anything. I didn't. Seems to me that you should get the marriage document translated for your records.

You're legal marriage here, is legal in the US.

You need to contact the SSA office in Manila. I would email them. For some reason it is more expensive to call the PI then the US.

If you are getting benefits on your own work record, it should not change anything.
