The FRBKC relies on us to provide the complete bank data to ensure correct posting
of payments to a customer’s account. If the information is incomplete, the FRBKC rejects
the payment and returns the funds to our agency.
You may establish or change IDD bank data for Comoros using an SSA system (e.g. Modernized
Claims System (MCS), Manual Adjustment Credit and Award Data Entry (MACADE)).
You must then go to ITS.gov to enter the following data:
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
•
first and last name of the beneficiary
-
-
1. Process initial award
You must update ITS.gov with the bank account information prior to processing an initial award to ensure
that the beneficiary receives payment. If the complete bank account information is
not in ITS.gov when the payment processes, the payment rejects and returns to our agency.
2. Add or update bank data using SSA systems
When you add or update IDD bank data using SSA system (e.g. Post Entitlement Online
System (POS), MACADE), you must:
-
-
•
enter all POS direct deposit changes according to normal procedures;
-
•
use procedures outlined in the following chart when processing within four business
days of the current operational month (COM) cutoff date.

REASON: This must be a pounds sterling account.
If yes, go to step 4.

be coded in SSA's systems.

|
Is the beneficiary's account in a branch that is located in the Republic of Ireland?
-

-
•
Does the Bank Account Number contain 8 digits? If not, code as many zeros as necessary

in the Depositor Account Number field.

If no, code a zero after the Bank Account Number.

Start with 50, the prefix SSA has designated for U.K. IDD.

look up the code in the latest version of the “Sorting Code Numbers” directory. Do
not code the dashes.
