When a NH does not have enough U.S. coverage to meet fully insured status, but the
NH has at least six QCs. FO technicians must take an initial claim to process the
insured status denial. The initial denial automatically generates a notice to inform
the applicant that the applicant does not meet the insured status requirement based
on U.S. coverage alone. It also informs the worker that we will request the applicant’s
Korean earnings record.
The FO routes the claim to:
Social Security Administration
Division of International Operations
P.O. Box 17769
Baltimore, MD 21235-7769
FAX number: 410-966-1861
If courier service is used, mail to:
Social Security Administration
Division of International Operations
6100 Wabash Avenue
Baltimore,
MD 21215
