Form SSA-1199-CN (2/2007)

IMPORTANT INFORMATION – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

Now you have two choices! Social Security benefits can now be directly deposited in either your Canadian dollar account or your U.S. dollar account in Canada.

It is time to have your benefits delivered directly into your bank account!

Direct Deposit is safer and more convenient than checks.

The information you give on this form is confidential. We need this information to send your U.S. Social Security payment directly to your account at a financial institution in Canada.

How do I sign up?

It’s easy!

1. On the other side of this form, complete Sections 1, 2, and 3. Remember to sign your name.

2. If you want your benefits sent to your U.S. dollar account, ask your bank to complete Section 4.

3. If you want your benefits sent to your Canadian dollar account, ask your bank to complete Section 5.

4. Mail the completed form in the envelope provided. Include a voided check, if possible.

What exchange rate will be used if I get Canadian dollars?

Your Social Security benefit will be converted to Canadian dollars at a very good rate a few days before it is deposited in your account. The rate may be different from the rate on the day you receive your payment.

What if I change my account?

If you change your financial institution or your account, you must notify Social Security at either your servicing office or the address below. Do not close your old account until benefits start coming to your new account.

What if I have a joint account?

If you have a joint account, the other account holder should sign the Joint Account Holder’s Certification on the front of this form. If you have a joint account with a person who receives Social Security payments, and that person dies, you must let the Social Security Administration know right away. Any Social Security payments deposited into a joint account after the death of a beneficiary must be returned to Social Security. As soon as we are advised of the death, we will let you know if your benefit amount will change and we’ll send you any money we owe you.

If you have any questions, ask any Social Security office or the office below.
