Payroll department requires my foreign address to determine tax treaty benefits
I am a foreign national staying in the US with an L-2 visa.
My new workplace requires me to state my "foreign address" in order to determine eligibility for "tax treaty benefits".
I am not eligible for such benefits and am no longer a resident of my country of citizenship, but they still require the address.
How exactly can a foreign address be used to determine tax treaty benefits eligibility? I have already stated my nationality.

Your nationality doesn't matter for most tax purposes. Where you are living, and where your income originated from, does. The company may want to pay you from a specific office to minimize taxes. They may also need your address in order to file taxes at all. This is a legitimate request.
