Notice of Finding Regarding
Foreign Social Insurance or Pension
System—Slovenia.
AGENCY:

ACTION:
Finding: Section 202(t)(1) of the
Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 402(t)(1))
prohibits payment of monthly benefits
to any individual who is not a United
States citizen or national for any month
after he or she has been outside the
United States for 6 consecutive months.
This prohibition does not apply to such
an individual where one of the
exceptions described in section 202(t)(2)
through 202(t)(5) of the Social Security
Act (42 U.S.C. 402(t)(2) through
402(t)(5)) affects his or her case.
Section 202(t)(2) of the Social
Security Act provides that, subject to
certain residency requirements of
Section 202(t)(11), the prohibition
against payment shall not apply to any
individual who is a citizen of a country
which the Commissioner of Social
Security finds has in effect a social
insurance or pension system which is of
general application in such country and
which:
(a) Pays periodic benefits, or the
actuarial equivalent thereof, on account
of old age, retirement, or death; and
(b) permits individuals who are
United States citizens but not citizens of
that country and who qualify for such
benefits to receive those benefits, or the
actuarial equivalent thereof, while
outside the foreign country regardless of
the duration of the absence.
The Commissioner of Social Security
has delegated the authority to make
such a finding to the Associate
Commissioner of the Office of
International Programs. Under that
authority, the Associate Commissioner
of the Office of International Programs
approved a finding that Slovenia,
beginning April 1, 1992, has a social
insurance system of general application
which:
(a) Pays periodic benefits, or the
actuarial equivalent thereof, on account
of old age, retirement, or death; and
(b) permits United States citizens who
are not citizens of Slovenia to receive
such benefits, or their actuarial
equivalent, at the full rate without
qualification or restriction while outside
Slovenia.
Accordingly, notice is given that it
has been determined and found that

Slovenia has in effect, beginning April
1, 1992, a social insurance system
which meets the requirements of section
202(t)(2) of the Social Security Act (42
U.S.C. 402(t)(2)).
This determination is our first finding
under section 202(t) of the Social
Security Act for Slovenia. On April 1,
1992, the United States recognized
Slovenia as an independent nation.
Before that time, it was considered to be
part of former Yugoslavia which, on
March 25, 1959, had been determined to
have a system that met section 202(t)(2)
of the Social Security Act. The system
remained in force in Slovenia until the
Law on Pension and Disability
Insurance went into effect on April 1,
1992. Thus, prior to that date Slovenian
citizens were afforded the social
insurance exception to the alien
nonpayment provision based on the
Yugoslavian system which was then in
effect.

[Docket No. SSA-2014-0038]
Finding Regarding Foreign Social Insurance or Pension System--
Slovenia
AGENCY: Social Security Administration.
ACTION: Notice of Finding Regarding Foreign Social Insurance or Pension
System--Slovenia.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Finding: Section 202(t)(1) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C.
402(t)(1)) prohibits payment of monthly benefits to any individual who
is not a United States citizen or national for any month after he or
she has been outside the United States for 6 consecutive months. This
prohibition does not apply to such an individual where one of the
exceptions described in section 202(t)(2) through 202(t)(5) of the
Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 402(t)(2) through 402(t)(5)) affects his
or her case.
Section 202(t)(2) of the Social Security Act provides that, subject
to certain residency requirements of Section 202(t)(11), the
prohibition against payment shall not apply to any individual who is a
citizen of a country which the Commissioner of Social Security finds
has in effect a social insurance or pension system which is of general
application in such country and which:
(a) Pays periodic benefits, or the actuarial equivalent thereof, on
account of old age, retirement, or death; and
(b) permits individuals who are United States citizens but not
citizens of that country and who qualify for such benefits to receive
those benefits, or the actuarial equivalent thereof, while outside the
foreign country regardless of the duration of the absence.
The Commissioner of Social Security has delegated the authority to
make such a finding to the Associate Commissioner of the Office of
International Programs. Under that authority, the Associate
Commissioner of the Office of International Programs approved a finding
that Slovenia, beginning April 1, 1992, has a social insurance system
of general application which:
(a) Pays periodic benefits, or the actuarial equivalent thereof, on
account of old age, retirement, or death; and
(b) permits United States citizens who are not citizens of Slovenia
to receive such benefits, or their actuarial equivalent, at the full
rate without qualification or restriction while outside Slovenia.
Accordingly, notice is given that it has been determined and found
that Slovenia has in effect, beginning April 1, 1992, a social
insurance system which meets the requirements of section 202(t)(2) of
the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 402(t)(2)).
This determination is our first finding under section 202(t) of the
Social Security Act for Slovenia. On April 1, 1992, the United States
recognized Slovenia as an independent nation. Before that time, it was
considered to be part of former Yugoslavia which, on March 25, 1959,
