If an applicant wishes to file for Icelandic benefits and brings the special forms
for Icelandic benefits to the FO, take the following actions:
-
•
accept, photocopy, and certify the application.
-
•
photocopy and certify any additional documents (evidence) the Icelandic agency requested
that the applicant included with the Icelandic claim.
-
•
request an “Informational/Certified Earnings Record” (ICERS) as described in MS ICERS
001.004.
-
•
send the Icelandic application and any additional claims material to the Division
of International Operations (DIO) in Baltimore at the following address:
Office of Earnings and International Operations
Division of International
Operations
P.O. Box 17769
Baltimore, MD 21235-7769
-
•
complete the Modernized Development Worksheet (MDW) screen to show the date the FO
sent the Icelandic claim to DIO. Show “Totalization” as the ISSUE.
Once DIO receives the claim, they will send the claim directly to the Icelandic agency
along with the evidence and the worker’s U.S. coverage record. DIO will annotate the
MDW to show the type of claim and the date they forwarded the claim to the Icelandic
agency.
If an applicant wishes to file for Icelandic benefits and does not bring the Icelandic
special forms, for instructions on how to accept the claim for benefits, see GN 01763.215.
