This section describes how to code a Title II beneficiary’s bank data for international
direct deposit (IDD) to a financial institution (FI) in Lithuania. Social Security
Administration (SSA) stores IDD bank data on the MBR in the same fields used for United
States (U.S.) direct deposit.
Special coding identifies the data as Lithuania direct deposit and allows benefit
payments to route through the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City (FRBKC) and the
processor bank in Lithuania to the beneficiary's FI.
If you receive an IDD request in a U.S. domestic (i.e, non-border) field office (FO),
forward all appropriate information to the Office of Earnings and International Operations,
(OEIO), Division of International Operations (DIO) to process.
