International Programs - U.S.-Hungarian Social Security Agreement - Article 8.2

As Article 8.2 describes, the Hungarian agency will compute benefit amounts in three steps.  Initially, it will combine periods of coverage in Hungary and in the United States.  If the combined coverage meets length of coverage requirements under Hungarian law, the Hungarian agency will compute a theoretical benefit amount as if the worker's U.S. periods of coverage had been completed under Hungarian law.  Finally, it will determine a pro rata benefit amount by multiplying the theoretical amount by the ratio of the periods of coverage completed under Hungarian laws to the total periods completed in both countries.
