GN 02408: Stop Payments and Reclamations

TN 22 (02-16)

A. When the Office of Earnings and International Operations (OEIO) uses forms SSA-1712 CN and SSA-1712

OEIO uses the SSA-1712-CN (Notice of Reclamation – Canada Pmt Made in CAD) to reclaim incorrect Canadian dollar (CAD) payments sent to Canadian financial institutions (FI). OEIO uses the SSA-1712 (Notice of Reclamation) to reclaim incorrect U.S. dollar (USD) payments sent to Canadian FIs. OEIO uses both forms when payments were CAD and USD. These forms and others are available on OEIO’s website, in the International Direct Deposit (IDD) Resource Kit and in this section.

D. When OEIO uses Form SSA-1713 (Statement of Reclamation Action)

OEIO includes the SSA-1713 whenever OEIO sends a reclamation request directly to a foreign FI. The FI then uses the form to respond to OEIO. This form and others are available on OEIO’s website, in the International Direct Deposit (IDD) Resource Kit, and in this section.

NOTE: Errors will generate in the ITS.gov application if a technician inputs reclamations through ITS.gov for any unlisted country.
