A dually covered Italian national, who is NOT a dual national, may amend a previous
election:
-
•
During the second year after the year in which a period of work began; or
-
•
Upon gaining or losing status as lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the
United States.
An amended election is effective from the date the worker makes the election. The
election applies to all future periods of work that are subject to dual coverage,
even if the worker begins a new period of employment with a different employer. A
worker may further amend an election only if the worker's residence status changes
as stated above.
A dual U.S./Italian national may change an initial election only if the individual
changes employers and the new period of employment is subject to coverage in both
countries.
