Ssa 2490 Bk Form PDF Details

The Social Security Administration’s SSA-2490-BK form is a critical document for individuals seeking benefits under a U.S. International Social Security Agreement. These agreements, known as Totalization Agreements, help individuals avoid double taxation on earnings and let them combine work credits from both the United States and a foreign country to qualify for retirement, disability, or survivor benefits. The form is designed to be completed by the worker if they are living, or by a survivor if the worker is deceased, making it essential for claiming international benefits. It requires detailed information about the worker's employment or self-employment in the foreign country, including periods of employment, type of industry, and social insurance numbers, along with details about the worker's coverage under the foreign social insurance system. Additionally, the form prompts applicants to apply for all eligible benefits under the social security agreement between the U.S. and the foreign country involved, clearly stating the type of benefits claimed from each country. This comprehensive approach ensures that workers or their survivors can navigate the complexities of international social security benefits, seeking to streamline the process of obtaining rightfully earned benefits across borders.
