International Programs - U.S.-Italian Social Security Agreement - Article 23.3

Paragraph 3 provides that if a prior application for benefits has been satisfied by a lump-sum payment because of lack of insured status and a benefit would be payable as a result of totalization, the individual may request a review of his case, to be carried out by each State in accordance with its laws. (This would apply only to Italy since U.S. social security laws do not provide for such lump-sum settlements.)
