International Programs - U.S.-Hungarian Social Security Agreement - Article 4.1

Article 4.1 provides that persons to whom this Agreement applies who reside in the United States or Hungary will receive the same treatment regarding benefit rights as that country gives its own nationals.  The intent of this provision is to eliminate discrimination with respect to benefits based on a person’s nationality.  It would not affect restrictions on benefit eligibility or payment because a person is not lawfully present in that country or did not have permission to work in that country.  The provision also does not affect the coverage provisions of either country’s laws, since Part II of this Agreement deals with social security coverage.
