                         Totalization of Periods of Coverage
1. When periods of coverage have been completed under the legislation of the two
 Contracting States, the agency of each Contracting State shall, in determining eligibility
 for benefits under the legislation of that Contracting State, take into account, if
 necessary, periods of coverage under the legislation of the other Contracting State,
 provided that such periods of coverage do not overlap with periods creditable under the
 legislation of the first Contracting State.
2. If, even after totalizing periods of coverage completed in the other Contracting State
 as provided in paragraph 1 of this Article, a person is not eligible for a benefit on the
 basis of the periods of coverage under the legislation of the Contracting States, the
 eligibility of that person for that benefit shall be determined by totalizing these periods
 with periods of coverage accumulated under the legislation of a third state with which
 both Contracting States are bound by international social security instruments which
 provide for the totalization of periods of coverage.
                                          Article 13
                                Calculation of Benefits
1. If, under the legislation of one Contracting State, the conditions for entitlement to
 benefits are satisfied without taking into account the provisions of Articles 11 and 12
 of this Agreement, the agency of one Contracting State shall determine the benefits:
 (a) on the basis of the periods of coverage completed exclusively under its legislation,
   and
 (b) according to the provisions of paragraph 2 of this Article, with the exception when
   the result of this calculation is equal to or lower than the result of the calculation
   under subparagraph (a) of this paragraph.
2. If, under the legislation of one Contracting State, the right to benefits can be acquired
 only after taking into account the provisions of Article 11 and 12 of this Agreement,

 the agency of the first Contracting State shall take into account periods of coverage
 completed according to the legislation of the other Contracting State and, if necessary,
 the legislation pertaining to periods of coverage in a third state and:
 (a) calculate the theoretical amount of the benefit which could have been claimed
   provided that all periods of coverage had been completed under its legislation, and
 (b) then, on the basis of the theoretical amount calculated in accordance with
   subparagraph (a) of this paragraph, determine the amount of the benefit payable by
   applying the ratio of the duration of the periods of coverage completed under its
   legislation to the total periods of coverage.
3. For calculation of the benefit, the agency of one Contracting State shall take into
 account only income earned during the periods of coverage completed under the
 legislation which it applies.
4. If the agency of one Contracting State can calculate the amount of benefit only with
 respect to periods of coverage obtained according to the legislation of that Contracting
 State, the provisions of paragraph 2 of this Article shall not be applied.
5. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 12 of this Agreement, if the total period of
 coverage completed under the legislation of one Contracting State does not reach 12
 months, the agency of that Contracting State shall not be obliged to award pension
 benefits.
6. If the period of coverage accumulated under the legislation of the Slovak Republic
 does not reach 12 months, no benefit under this Agreement shall be paid. However, the
 preceding sentence shall not apply if, under the legislation of the Slovak Republic, the
 benefit is payable based on the period of coverage shorter than 12 months. The period
 of coverage less than 12 months accumulated under the legislation of the Republic
 of Korea shall be taken into account by the agency of the Slovak Republic for the
 calculation of the benefit payable under the legislation of the Slovak Republic.

1. Subject to the provisions of Articles 12 and 13 of this Agreement, to obtain a
 disability or survivors benefit, the requirement of the legislation of the Republic of
 Korea that a person be covered when the insured event occurs shall be considered to
 have been met if the person is covered for a benefit under the legislation of the Slovak
 Republic during the period of coverage in which the insured event occurs according to
 the legislation of the Republic of Korea.
2. The lump-sum refund shall be granted to the nationals of the Slovak Republic
