This section describes how to code bank data for international direct deposit (IDD)
of title II benefits to a financial institution (FI) in Luxembourg. 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 a Luxembourg direct deposit and allows us to
route benefit payments through the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City (FRBKC) and
the processor bank in Luxembourg to the beneficiary's local 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.
For detailed instructions on IDD requests and forwarding information, see
