Wondering if any U.S. citizens here have any experience changing their name on their Social Security card.
My situation: The U.S. Federal Reserve has sent my first social security funds to my bank account in Taiwan. However, my bank account name uses my full name (including middle name). The fund transfer name shortens my middle name to just an initial.
The Social Security office in the Philippines has instructed me to change my name on social security card to remove my middle initial and add my middle name to my first name.
Having used the same social security card for 50 years…I am reluctant but that is the plan. Just wondering if anyone else made this change and if any subsequent problems cropped up?
Sidenote: the Philippines office told me that the Federal Reserve’s fund transfer system cannot accommodate using a full middle name so they need recipients to change their names on social security card to match what their system can handle.
