The following chart shows the types of pensions paid by Totalization agreement countries
that are not subject to WEP because they are based entirely on non-work-related factors
(for example, residence-or citizenship-based pensions). If a pension paid by a Totalization
agreement country is not listed below, determine whether WEP applies. For more information
on foreign pensions see GN 00307.290.
