3. Contents of letter requesting an exception

The letter requesting the exception should provide:

  • •

    an explanation of why either country should grant an exception, and

  • •

    all of the information needed to issue a certificate of coverage (see RS 02002.310B.1).

The agency receiving the request will coordinate with the other agency to request a special exception. When the other agency grants the exception, the agency of the country that will cover the worker issues a certificate of coverage to serve as proof of exemption from coverage and taxes in the other country.
