The FSP in Athens takes claims from individuals who wish to file for benefits under
the Greek agreement and also assists in processing certain types of claims filed with
IKA.
When taking applications under the agreement, the FSP should follow the same general
procedures and obtain the same applications and evidence as SSA field offices (See
GN 01702.001 - GN 01702.525 for DO and FSP Development and see GN 01737.205 - GN 01737.220 for specific evidence and application requirements for the agreement with Greece).
