Use the Hungarian certified coverage record to assign foreign “F” quarters of coverage
to the U.S. coverage record.
-
•
There is no minimum amount of Hungarian coverage which must be earned before the U.S.
can use it.
-
•
SSA will credit one quarter of coverage in a calendar year for every ninety days of
coverage certified for that year by the Hungarian liaison agency.
-
•
All periods of coverage coded “W” in the Type of Occupation column are creditable
work-related insurance certified by the Hungarian liaison agency. Do not use insurance
periods coded “NW” – non-work related.
-
•
SSA will not credit months of coverage under Hungary’s insurance system that fall
within a calendar quarter that SSA already credited as a U.S. quarter of coverage.
-
•
SSA will also not credit more than four quarters of coverage for any calendar year,
or consider periods of Hungarian coverage credited prior to 1937, (the earliest date
for which U.S. law permits crediting periods of coverage).
