RS 02001: International Agreements
TN 16 (11-96)
Under the agreement, an individual who is self-employed in both countries will be subject to coverage only by the country in which he is a resident. In such cases, the determination of residence will be made by the country in which the self-employed person claims to be a resident. (See GN 01702.230 for determinations of residence.) In the United State this determination will be made by the Division of International Policy and Agreements (see RS 02001.325 for address). A self-employed person wishing to obtain a U.S. certificate should write to the Division of Internation Policy and Agreements and include sufficient information to permit a determination of residence.
