There are some entries which must be shown on the Form P/USA 5 before it can be used to credit Portuguese coverage. This section describes the entries required for an acceptable Portuguese coverage certification.

Check the coverage certification form for the following entries:

• •

  Worker's name

• •

  “FROM - TO” entry for each period in which there is an entry for months.

• •

  “MONTHS” entry for each “FROM - TO” period and “MONTHS” entry that is less than or equal to the number of months in the corresponding “FROM - TO” period.

• •

  Portuguese agency stamp, signature and date.

If any of the entries is not shown, route the case to IOTS for evaluation.
