(1) 

To the Congress of the United States: 

Pursuant to section 233(e)(1) of the Social Security Act, as 

amended by the Social Security Amendments of 1977 (Public Law 

95–216, 42 U.S.C. 433(e)(1)), I transmit herewith a social security 

totalization agreement with Slovenia, titled ‘‘Agreement on Social 

Security between the United States of America and the Republic of 

Slovenia’’ and the accompanying legally binding administrative arrangement, titled ‘‘Administrative Arrangement between the 

United States of America and the Republic of Slovenia for the Implementation of the Agreement on Social Security between the 

United States of America and the Republic of Slovenia’’ (collectively 

the ‘‘Agreements’’). The Agreements were signed in Ljubljana, Slovenia, on January 17, 2017. 

The Agreements are similar in objective and content to the social 

security totalization agreements already in force with other leading 

economic partners in Europe and elsewhere, including Australia, 

Canada, Chile, Japan, Norway, the Republic of Korea, and Switzerland. Such bilateral agreements provide for limited coordination between the United States and foreign social security systems to 

eliminate dual social security coverage and taxation and to help 

prevent the loss of benefit protection that can occur when workers 

divide their careers between two countries. 

The Agreements contain all provisions mandated by section 233 

of the Social Security Act and, pursuant to section 233(c)(4), other 

provisions which I deem appropriate to carry out the purposes of 

section 233. 

I also transmit for the information of the Congress a report required by section 233(e)(1) of the Social Security Act on the estimated number of individuals who will be affected by the Agreements and the Agreements’ estimated cost effect. Also included are 

a summary of the main provisions of the Agreements and an annotated version of the Agreements with descriptions of each article. 

The Department of State and the Social Security Administration 

concluded that these Agreements are in the national interest of the 

United States. 

I commend to the Congress the Agreement on Social Security between the United States of America and the Republic of Slovenia 

and the Administrative Arrangement between the United States of 

America and the Republic of Slovenia for the Implementation of the 

Agreement on Social Security between the United States of America and the Republic of Slovenia. 

DONALD J. TRUMP. 

THE WHITE HOUSE, May 17, 2018.
