You must bring original documents as well as a photocopy of each document required for your application.
How to prepare for your visit: Foreign Enforcement Questionnaire (FEQ): FBU will accept the 2024 “proof of life” forms. If your Social Security Number ends in 00 through 49 and you have a mailing address registered in Ecuador, you are required to submit this form. If you didn’t return this form by January 2025, your benefits were or will be suspended.
