SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice concerns all U.S. nationals who

their work in the former Belgian overseas territories or as survivors 
of those who worked in such territories. These individuals, along with 
the estates of such individuals who died between January 1, 2012 and 
September 15, 2015, may be entitled to additional amounts in connection 
with their pension payments.
    In order to evaluate whether compensation can be granted, the 
Department of State requests all such individuals, or their estate

provide their contact information.
    Individuals who have forwarded information regarding their pensions 
to the Department of State at the request of the Government of Belgium

Belgium on Social Security and related agreements. The information

compensation under the Belgium Claims program. Certain information may

in the processing of claims, principally the Department of the 
Treasury. The information may also be released to other government 
agencies having statutory or other lawful authority to maintain such 
information. More information on the Routine Uses for the system can be 
found in the System of Records Notice for Records of the Office of the
