This section describes how to code bank data for international direct deposit (IDD)
of title II benefits to a financial institution (FI) in Czech Republic. The Social
Security Administration (SSA) stores bank data on the Master Beneficiary Record (MBR)
in the same fields used for United States (U.S.) direct deposit.
Special coding identifies the bank data as an Czech Republic direct deposit. This
allows us to route benefit payments through the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City
(FRBKC) and the processor bank in Czech Republic to the beneficiary's local FI.
If you receive an IDD request in a U.S. domestic (i.e, non-border) field office (FO),
forward all appropriate information to the Office of Earnings and International Operations,
(OEIO), Division of International Operations (DIO) to process.
