Q. I would like my FERS retirement monthly benefits direct deposited to my overseas account. What foreign countries does OPM allow direct deposit of retirement benefits? Is the Philippines on the list?
A. The Philippines is not one of the “blocked” countries, so your annuity payments can be sent there.

Is Bangladesh on the block list. How/where do you check the list?
Thank you
Bangladesh isn’t currently on the U. S. Treasury’s blocked country list.
Where can I find the list, and is Lebanon on the accepted or blocked list?
You’ll find that information at https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/Programs/pages/leb.aspx. Just scroll to Lebanon.
