Hi guys! I guess this falls under everything else, but if you can help I'd appreciate it. When is the SSA-7162 (Hey, I'm alive document) due in Manila to keep benefits flowing? Thanks for your feedback!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The SSA-7162 form, also known as the 'Hey, I'm alive' document, is sent to the address provided by the recipient. Feedback indicates that the form typically does not need to be sent to Manila; instead, it should be sent directly to the specified location in the US or can be submitted via email.

They send you the form to the address you gave them. They will tell you where to send it and if I recall it wasn’t Manila. I recall sending it EMS to the US

 Wherever they tell you to send it then send it there. Read the instructions. Don’t assume it is Manila.
