Wife applied for Social Security spousal benefits.  For "country", application only has "Soviet Union" and there is no option for Russia, Ukraine, or Moldova.  Application is denied because country (Soviet Union) does not match country on application for Social Security card (Moldova).  Went to meeting with local SS office.  Denied again with SS Office  employee stating that Soviet Union is Russia and is not Moldova...

A beautiful woman is pleasant to look at, but it is easier to live with a pleasant acting one.

I just looked at the application form. 

(b) Enter name of city and state, or foreign country where you were born.

Application is not done with a printed form.  It is done online from your "My Social Security" account.  The country field has a drop down list of countries that you can choose.

submitting online is one method, the printed form is another, submit by USPS, there may be a way to upload it after you fill it out

1. download the bk-2 form, see above
2. fill it out
3. send it in

After much time wasted with this nitpicking, they are saying the benefit app is correct, but the original SS card application was in error.   So solution to make them happy is to fill out another SS-5 SS card application so that it all matches.

So what country is she going to put on the SS application?
I thought Moldova was the correct country.

Call your congressman's office. They all have fixers that have a direct person
they can call for exactly such problems. It doesn't matter what their political
affiliation is, they all know how to get through the red tape, be prepared to
send them the form that you filled out and the responses.

Have no idea.  Have scheduled a meeting with manager of the employee (who thought Russia was the only country in the Soviet Union).  Will let them decide what to specify for country.  Left that field blank for now.
