Statute overview

About this statute

This article defines several terms used in the Convention, including legislation, benefits, residence, death grant, refugee, and stateless person. Members may accept this Convention only for selected social security branches, must follow it for accepted branches, and must report the branches they accept. Members in force under the Convention must treat covered foreign nationals the same as their own nationals for social security coverage and benefits, and must also extend this to survivors’ benefits. Benefits should be treated equally without a residence condition, except that some social security benefits may be made conditional on residence for nationals of a Member whose law already uses residence for that benefit. A Member that has accepted the Convention’s social security obligations must provide certain benefits to covered nationals who live abroad.
