Can Americans change their Social Security Administration (SSA) bank account from a US bank to a Thai bank online?

You can do that, but your new ssa account in Thailand won't have a debt card and you will start getting the "are you dead letter". If you don't mail it back within a month, they will stop your payments till they receive it in america
