A. Purpose of certificate of coverage

The U.S.-Greek agreement requires each country to issue certificate of coverage forms for workers who, without the agreement, would have to pay social security taxes to both countries on the same earnings. The certificate serves as proof that the worker named on the certificate is:

  • •

    subject to the social security taxation and coverage laws of the country issuing the certificate; and

  • •

    exempt from social security coverage and contributions on the same earnings in the other country.
