If an applicant wishes to file for Uruguayan benefits and brings the Uruguayan Application
Form UY-US/01 to the FO, take the following actions:
-
•
accept, photocopy and certify the application.
-
•
photocopy and certify any additional documents (evidence) the Uruguayan agency requested
that the applicant include with the Uruguayan claim.
-
•
request an "Informational/Certified Earnings Record" (ICERS) as described in
MS ICERS 2101.004.
-
•
send the Uruguayan application and any additional claims material to the Division
of International Operations (DIO) in Baltimore at the following address:
Social Security Administration
Office of Earnings and International
Operations
Division of International Operations
P.O. Box
17769
Baltimore, MD 21235-7769
-
•
complete the Modernized Development Worksheet (MDW) screen to show the date the FO
sent the Uruguayan claim to DIO. Show "Totalization" as the ISSUE.
Once DIO receives the claim, they will send the claim directly to the Uruguayan agency
along with the evidence and the worker’s U.S. coverage record. DIO will annotate the
MDW to show the type of claim and the date they forwarded the claim to the Uruguayan
agency.
For instructions on how to accept the claim for benefits if an applicant wishes to
file for Uruguayan benefits and does not bring the Uruguayan special forms, see GN 01760.215.
