did you have to change it on the SSA website and was it easy?Greg *********
@Bob ******
it’s been a while, but I don’t think they’ll let you change it on the SS website if it’s a bank outside the U.S. I had to send a form to the SS office in Manila, Philippines that Kasikorn Bank filled out with my account information.
