Starting on October 1, 2017, all SSA-related inquiries should be directed to the Federal Benefits Unit (FBU) office located at the American Embassy Manilla, Philippines.
SSA has already modified www.ssa.gov to refer individuals with questions or inquiries to the appropriate FBU instead of U.S. Embassies and Consulates.
If you reside in Bangladesh and have questions regarding services provided by the Social Security Administration (SSA), you must contact the SSA Federal Benefits Unit (FBU) located in Manila, Philippines. For more information on their services and how to contact them, please visit their webpage.
