SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION 

[Docket No. SSA–2014–0038] 

Finding Regarding Foreign Social 

Insurance or Pension System— 

Slovenia 

AGENCY: Social Security Administration. 

ACTION: Notice of Finding Regarding 

Foreign Social Insurance or Pension 

System—Slovenia. 

Finding: Section 202(t)(1) of the 

Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 402(t)(1)) 

prohibits payment of monthly benefits 

to any individual who is not a United 

States citizen or national for any month 

after he or she has been outside the 

United States for 6 consecutive months. 

This prohibition does not apply to such 

an individual where one of the 

exceptions described in section 202(t)(2) 

through 202(t)(5) of the Social Security 

Act (42 U.S.C. 402(t)(2) through 

402(t)(5)) affects his or her case. 

Section 202(t)(2) of the Social 

Security Act provides that, subject to 

certain residency requirements of 

Section 202(t)(11), the prohibition 

against payment shall not apply to any 

individual who is a citizen of a country 

which the Commissioner of Social 

Security finds has in effect a social 

insurance or pension system which is of 

general application in such country and 

which: 

(a) Pays periodic benefits, or the 

actuarial equivalent thereof, on account 

of old age, retirement, or death; and 

(b) permits individuals who are 

United States citizens but not citizens of 

that country and who qualify for such 

benefits to receive those benefits, or the 

actuarial equivalent thereof, while 

outside the foreign country regardless of 

the duration of the absence. 

The Commissioner of Social Security 

has delegated the authority to make 

such a finding to the Associate 

Commissioner of the Office of 

International Programs. Under that 

authority, the Associate Commissioner 

of the Office of International Programs 

approved a finding that Slovenia, 

beginning April 1, 1992, has a social 

insurance system of general application 

which: 

(a) Pays periodic benefits, or the 

actuarial equivalent thereof, on account 

of old age, retirement, or death; and 

(b) permits United States citizens who 

are not citizens of Slovenia to receive 

such benefits, or their actuarial 

equivalent, at the full rate without 

qualification or restriction while outside 

Slovenia. 

Accordingly, notice is given that it 

has been determined and found that 

Slovenia has in effect, beginning April 

1, 1992, a social insurance system 

which meets the requirements of section 

202(t)(2) of the Social Security Act (42 

U.S.C. 402(t)(2)). 

This determination is our first finding 

under section 202(t) of the Social 

Security Act for Slovenia. On April 1, 

1992, the United States recognized 

Slovenia as an independent nation. 

Before that time, it was considered to be 

part of former Yugoslavia which, on 

March 25, 1959, had been determined to 

have a system that met section 202(t)(2) 

of the Social Security Act. The system 

remained in force in Slovenia until the 

Law on Pension and Disability 

Insurance went into effect on April 1, 

1992. Thus, prior to that date Slovenian 

citizens were afforded the social 

insurance exception to the alien 

nonpayment provision based on the 

Yugoslavian system which was then in 

effect.
