If entitlement to a Totalization benefit is possible, either because the NH has at
least 6 QCs but is not insured based on U.S. coverage alone or Totalization could
establish an earlier month of entitlement, forward the claim to:
Social Security Administration
Office of International Operations
P.O. Box 17769
Baltimore, Maryland 21235-7769
Print “TOTALIZATION CLAIM” on the route slip transmitting the folder. If the claim is being forwarded to OEIO
only because Totalization could establish an earlier month of entitlement, suppress
the notice described in GN 01702.315A.
If entitlement to a Totalization benefit is not possible either because the NH has
less than 6 QCs or Totalization could not establish an earlier month of entitlement,
forward the claim to the appropriate PSC of jurisdiction.
