GN 01755.225 Requests for Status of Applications for Hungarian Benefits

A. Automatic status notice for an application for Hungarian benefits

When the Division of International Operations (DIO) forwards claims material (such as information about a Hungarian claim, certified copies of evidence, or a copy of the worker’s U.S. coverage record) to Hungary, 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 Hungarian 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 Hungary.

B. Applicant requests status of a Hungarian claim

If an applicant contacts the Social Security Administration (SSA) for status of the applicant's claim for Hungarian benefits and states that notification that DIO forwarded the claim to the Hungarian agency has not been 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 Hungary

If PPC does not show that DIO forwarded the claim to Hungary, 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 Hungary

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

Országos Nyugdíjbiztosítási Főigazgatóság (National Pension Insurance)

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