GN 01747.225 Requests for Status of Application for Danish Benefits
A. Automatic status notice for an application for Danish benefits
When the Division of International Operations (DIO) forwards claims material (such
as information about a Danish claim, certified copies of evidence, or a copy of the
worker’s U.S. coverage record ) to Denmark, Benefit Earnings Technician (BET) electronically
stores the claims material in the Paperless Processing Center (PPC) system in DIO
before forwarding the claim to the Danish agency. The system automatically generates
a notice that the BET sends to the applicant. This notice informs the applicant that
DIO forwarded the claims material to Denmark.
B. Applicant requests status of a Danish claim
If an applicant contacts the Social Security Administration (SSA) for status of the
applicant's claim for Danish benefits and states that they have not received notification
that DIO forwarded the claim to the Danish agency, 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 Denmark
If PPC does not show that DIO forwarded the claim to Denmark, advise the applicant
to write directly to DIO at the following address:
Social Security Administration

P. O. Box 17769
Baltimore, Maryland
USA
2. PPC shows that DIO forwarded the claim to Denmark
If PPC shows DIO forwarded the claim to the Danish agency, advise the applicant to
contact the Danish agency directly. Applicants can find Danish contact and other information
online at:

forwards the claim to Denmark. For more information about status requests for Totalization
