There are three liaison agencies in Belgium that are responsible for implementing the Belgian agreement. There is a pension agency which processes retirement and survivor claims of salaried workers and their survivors. The self-employment agency processes retirement and survivor claims of self-employed individuals and their survivors. And finally, there is a disability agency which processes all disability claims. Since there are two official languages used in Belgium (French and Flemish), each of the three Belgian liaison agencies has a French branch and a Flemish branch.
