GN 01753.225 Requests for Status of Applications for Slovak Benefits

A. Automatic status notice for an application for Slovak benefits

When the Division of International Operations (DIO) forwards claims material (such as information about a Slovak claim, certified copies of evidence, or a copy of the worker’s U.S. coverage record) to the Slovak Republic, the Benefit Earnings Technician (BET) electronically stores the claims material in the Paperless Processing Center (PPC) system in DIO before forwarding the claim to the Slovak agency. The system automatically generates a notice that the BET sends to the applicant. The notice informs the applicant that the claims material was forwarded to the Slovak Republic.

B. Applicant requests status of a Slovak claim

If an applicant contacts the Social Security Administration (SSA) for status of the applicant's claim for Slovak benefits and states that notification that DIO forwarded the claim to the Slovak agency was not received, check the PPC system.

NOTE: Field offices are able to check the PPC system through the Evidence Portal (EP) application. See MS 09701.001 for an overview of the EP application, and to access the EP User Guide.

1. PPC does not show that DIO forwarded the claim to the Slovak Republic

If PPC does not show that DIO forwarded the claim to the Slovak Republic, advise the applicant to write directly to DIO at the following address:

Social Security Administration
OEIO - DIO
P. O. Box 17769
Baltimore, Maryland 21235-7769
USA

2. PPC shows that DIO forwarded the claim to the Slovak Republic

If PPC shows that DIO forwarded the claim to the Slovak agency, advise the applicant to contact the Slovak agency directly. Applicants can find contact and other information online at:

  • •

    Ministerstvo práce, sociálnych vecí a rodiny (Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs and Family)

  • •

    Sociálna poisťovňa (Social Insurance Agency)

DIO is unable to determine the status of a Slovak claim after a technician forwards the claim to Slovak Republic. For more information about status requests for Totalization claims, see GN 01702.520.
