RS 02002.060 General Coverage Rule and Exceptions for Employment under the U.S. - Japan Agreement

A. Coverage rule and exceptions

1. General territoriality rule

Generally, a person will be subject to the laws for the country where the person performs the work. A worker whose covered employment otherwise causes dual coverage under the laws of both countries will remain covered only under the laws of the country where the worker performs the work.

2. Exceptions

The Agreement provides several exceptions to the territoriality rule to ensure that a worker's coverage is under the system of the country to which the worker has the greater attachment. The references below shows where to find these exceptions.

B. References

RS 02002.065 through RS 02002.075, Exceptions to Territoriality Rule.
