U.S. GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE
99-011 WASHINGTON : 2002
To the Congress of the United States
Pursuant to section 233(e)(1) of the Social Security Act,
as amended by the Social Security Amendments of 1977 (Public
Law 95-216, 42 U.S.C. 433(e)(1)), I transmit herewith the
Agreement Between the Government of the United States of
America and the Government of Australia on Social Security,
which consists of two separate instruments: a principal
agreement and an administrative arrangement along with a
paragraph-by-paragraph explanation of each provision. The
Agreement was signed at Canberra on September 27, 2001.
The United States-Australia Agreement is similar in
objective to the social security agreements already in force
with Austria, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Finland, France, Germany,
Greece, Ireland, Italy, Korea, Luxembourg, the Netherlands,
Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United
Kingdom. Such bilateral agreements provide for limited
coordination between the United States and foreign social
security systems to eliminate dual social security coverage and
taxation, and to help prevent the lost benefit protection that
can occur when workers divide their careers between two
countries. The United States-Australia Agreement contains all
provisions mandated by section 233 and other provisions that I
deem appropriate to carry out the purposes of section 233,
pursuant to section 233(c)(4).
I also transmit for the Information of the Congress a
report prepared by the Social Security Administration
explaining the key points of the Agreement. Annexed to this
report is the report required by section 233(e)(1) of the
Social Security Act, a report on the effect of the Agreement on
income and expenditures of the U.S. Social Security program and
the number of individuals affected by the Agreement. The
Department of State and the Social Security Administration have
recommended the Agreement and related documents to me.
I commend the United States-Australia Social Security
Agreement and related documents.
George W. Bush.
The White House, March 12, 2002.
