Closure of Federal Benefits Unit
On April 1, 2003, the Federal Benefits Unit in Stockholm closed and cases were transferred to a regional Federal Benefits Unit (FBU) at the U.S. Embassy in Oslo, Norway, which provides the same services.
Please contact the FBU in Oslo for assistance regarding federal benefits: oslofbu@state.gov
Telephone number: 0047-2130-8558
Fax number: 0047-2255-2743
If you would prefer, you may write the FBU at the following address:

Most U.S. government agencies now have websites with extensive information. We encourage you to visit the following websites established to provide the public with a broad range of Federal Benefits information. You should be aware that the content on the websites listed below is primarily aimed at domestic U.S. audiences. Some rules apply differently overseas and overseas beneficiaries should therefore not rely on the website alone for information concerning their specific claim.
