•
assist him or her by providing check identification information (check number, check
symbol, program, etc.);
-
•
include as attachments any proof provided by the beneficiary or recipient to assist
Treasury in its redetermination. PLEASE NOTE: ADDITIONAL PROOF IS REQUIRED TO SUPPORT THE LP DECISION REVIEW REQUEST;
-
•
mark the envelope “ATTN: Kevin McDaniels, FORMAL PROTEST” and mail to:
Department of the Treasury
Philadelphia Financial Center
Bureau of Fiscal Service
13000 Townsend Rd

Prepare a 60-day diary to control for a response from the Philadelphia Financial Center.
Example of protest:
SSA sends the beneficiary or recipient a notice indicating that we will not replace
the check because Treasury has determined that the he or she endorsed the check. The
beneficiary or recipient writes to SSA stating, “I disagree. This is not my signature
and here is further proof;” SSA will package the additional proofs under the cover
of the protest letter and submit it the Philadelphia Financial Center for processing.
