If an individual inquires about the payment of benefits to an individual in Albania,
tell the inquirer that payments can be made to some individuals in that country, as
explained in RS 02650.120B.
If the individual on whose behalf the inquiry was made has not filed for benefits,
tell the inquirer that the individual should write to OIO.
If the individual on whose behalf the inquiry was made either had his/her benefits
suspended or never received any payment because he/she was in Albania, obtain the
following information and forward it to OIO:
-
•
name and current address of the beneficiary;
-
•
Social Security number (SSN) on which the claim was filed (or sufficient information
to identify the number holder (NH), if the SSN is unknown); and
NOTE: Because many individuals used different names in the United States, it is important
to get all the names the NH may have used.
-
•
relationship of the individual in Albania to the NH if he/she is not the NH.
Include the name and address of the inquirer in case we need additional information.
