• •

  give all the information listed in RS 2002.850C to request a certificate of coverage under the U.S. - Romanian Agreement, and

• •

  explain why a special exception should be granted.

Individuals wishing to request an exception granting U.S. coverage should write to the following address:

Social Security Administration

Compliance and Agreement Branch

International Support Branch, NT 03-A-09

Upon receipt of a request for a special exception, the agency that receives the request will consider it in collaboration with the other country's agency. If both agencies approve the request for a special exception, the agency that receives the request will issue a certificate of coverage. The certificate of coverage will serve as proof of exemption from coverage and taxes in the other country.
