Enter it in other income. It does not count as and get taxed like US Social Security. Also check out the tax treaty between the US and the paying country. Some are taxable in the US while others are taxable in the paying country.
You don’t need any 1099 substitute if you report your foreign social security pension in Form 1040 “line 8 Other income from Schedule 1 line 10”, and obviously also in such “Schedule in line 8z”.
