An employee on a U.S. or Romanian ship, who would otherwise have coverage in both countries, will have coverage only in the country whose flag the ship flies. U.S. law considers a ship to fly the flag of the United States if the Social Security Act defines it as an American vessel.

A member of the flight crew of an aircraft operating between the United States and Romania who would otherwise have coverage in both countries will have coverage only in the country in which the company employing the person has its headquarters. However, if the employee resides in the other country, he or she will only have coverage in that country.
