This section describes how to code bank data for international direct deposit (IDD)
of title II benefits to a financial institution (FI) in Colombia. 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 data as a Colombia direct deposit and allows SSA to
route benefit payments through the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City (FRBKC) and
the processor bank in Colombia to the beneficiary's 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.
For detailed instructions on IDD requests and forwarding information, see
