Completely unhelpful, since I don't have a phone number or address in the US, I can no longer open my SS portal, since I cant be "verified". Also, cant act on behalf of my mother (who also lives overseas) because they don't recognize POA, even if issued by the State of her residence, subject to court approval at a hearing with her doctor, and her lawyer present, to enforce a POA instrument that she executed herself years before. Equally unhelpful or sympathetic, when trying to send them my fathers death certificate. I mean, I understand preserving peoples privacy, but if you live outside the US, despite a responsibility to continue to pay US taxes, they can't find enough ways to do less for you.
