RS 02002.500 Effective Date of the U.S.-Icelandic Agreement/Effect on Coverage

A. Effective date of Icelandic Agreement

The agreement with Iceland became effective on March 1, 2019.

B. Effect on Coverage

If both the U.S. and Icelandic social security systems cover a worker’s employment or self-employment, the agreement provides that beginning March 1, 2019, only one country’s system covers the worker’s employment or self-employment. The agreement does not affect a worker’s coverage prior to that date. If a worker had dually covered earnings before March 1, 2019, those earlier earnings were and would continue to be subject to social security contributions in both countries.
