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.

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.
