A. Procedure for reviewing claims under the U.S.-Hungary Totalization Agreement

Follow these steps for reviewing claims under the U.S.-Hungary Totalization Agreement:

Review the file for the required applications and evidence listed in GN 01755.205 - GN 01755.220.

  1. 1. 

    Check the file for a U.S. totalization earnings record that we can send to the liaison agency in Hungary. If one is not in the file, request an ICERS record following the instructions in MSOM ICERS 001.001 and MSOM ICERS 001.004 for inclusion in the claims package to the liaison agency.

  2. 2. 

    Confirm that we included all available medical evidence if the claim is for disability benefits.

  3. 3. 

    When all required material is in the file, prepare a claims package for Hungary according to the guidelines in GN 01756.205 through GN 01756.210 and send the claims package to the Hungarian liaison agencies:

For All Disability Claims:

National Office for Rehabilitation and Social Affairs (NORSA)
