PART IV

Provisions on Benefits

Chapter I

Provisions Applicable to the United States

Article 6

1. Where a person has completed at least six quarters of coverage under

United States laws, but does not have sufficient quarters of coverage to satisfy

the requirements for entitlement to benefits under United States laws, pension

point years completed under Norwegian laws shall be taken into account to the

extent they do not coincide with calendar quarters already credited as quarters

of coverage under United States laws.

2. In determining eligibility for benefits under paragraph 1 of this Article, the

agency of the United States shall credit four quarters of coverage for each

pension point year certified as creditable by the agency of Norway; however, no

quarter of coverage shall be credited for any calendar quarter already credited as

a quarter of coverage under United States laws. The total number of quarters of

coverage to be credited for a year shall not exceed four.

3. Entitlement to a benefit from the United States which results from paragraph 1

shall terminate with the acquisition of sufficient periods of coverage under

United States laws to establish entitlement to an equal or higher benefit without

the need to invoke the provision of paragraph 1.

4. Where entitlement to a benefit under United States laws is established according

to the provisions of paragraph 1, the agency of the United States shall compute a

pro rata Primary Insurance Amount in accordance with United States laws based

on (a) the person's average earnings credited exclusively under United States

laws and (b) the ratio of the duration of the person's periods of coverage

completed under United States laws to the duration of a coverage lifetime as

determined in accordance with United States laws. Benefits payable under

United States laws shall be based on the pro rata Primary Insurance Amount.

Chapter II

Provisions Applicable to Norway

Article 7

1. (a) Where a person has completed at least three years of coverage under

Norwegian laws, or one year if covered while performing occupational

activity in Norway, prior to the insured contingency, quarters of coverage

completed under United States laws shall be taken into account to

determine entitlement to disability, survivors and old-age pensions

7
provided they do not coincide with periods of coverage already credited 8

under Norwegian laws. To become entitled to a Norwegian supplementary

pension based on the preceding sentence, pension points must have been

credited for at least one year on the basis of occupational activity for at

least one year.

(b) Four quarters of coverage completed under United States laws shall

correspond to one year of coverage under Norwegian laws.

2. (a) If entitlement to a benefit exists under Norwegian laws without recourse

to the provisions of this Agreement, the benefit shall be computed in

accordance with Norwegian laws.

(b) If entitlement to a disability or survivors benefit under Norwegian laws

exists only according to the provisions of this Agreement, the benefit shall

be computed in the following manner:

(i) The benefit amount shall be determined which would have been

payable if the person's periods of coverage under United States laws

had been periods of coverage under Norwegian laws.

(ii) This amount shall be multiplied by the ratio between the person's

actual periods of coverage under Norwegian laws and the sum of the

person's periods of coverage under both Norwegian and United

States laws.

(iii) If the person's total periods of coverage under Norwegian laws, or

the sum of such periods and periods of coverage under United States

laws, exceeds 40 years, then the actual period, or sum of periods,

shall be replaced by the figure "40" for the purposes of the said

calculation.

(iv) A supplementary pension shall be computed on the basis of the

average annual pension point figure for the years during which the

person concerned has been credited with pension points under

Norwegian laws in accordance with the rules for the calculation of

the final pension point figure under the National Insurance Act.

(v) The provisions of Paragraph 1(b) shall apply as appropriate.

3. If entitlement to an old-age pension under Norwegian laws exists only

according to the provisions of this Agreement, the old-age pension shall be

computed on the basis of periods of coverage fulfilled and pension point years

credited under Norwegian laws.

4. A Norwegian disability or survivors pension shall be converted to an old-age

pension when the person reaches the general pension age. The old-age pension

shall be computed on the basis of periods of coverage and pension point years

used to compute the disability or survivors pension.
9

5. Supplementary pensions payable to persons to whom this Agreement applies

shall be computed in accordance with the overcompensation provisions of

Section 3-9 of the National Insurance Act. Pension increments due to

overcompensation shall also be paid to persons to whom this Agreement applies

when they are resident in the territory of the United States. The provisions of

paragraph 1 shall not apply in relation to Section 3-9 of the National Insurance

Act.

6. Payment of rehabilitation benefits, basic benefits, attendance benefits,

guaranteed minimum supplementary pension benefits to persons becoming

disabled at birth or at a young age, education benefits and child care benefits to

persons not resident or present in the territory of Norway shall be determined in

each case pursuant to Norwegian laws.

7. Pensions already payable prior to 1 January 1991 which do not take into account

all periods of residence in Norway prior to 1967 and later than 1936, shall be

recalculated upon request from the beneficiary. If the result of this recalculation

is more favorable, the differential amount shall be paid retroactively from

1 January 1991.

8. Funeral grants under Norwegian laws shall be payable in respect of persons who

were subject to Norwegian laws at the time of their death.
