Agreement Between the United States and UruguaySocial Security Agreement • January 11th, 2019
Effective November 1, 2018, an agreement between the United States and Uruguay improves social security protection for people who work or have worked in both countries. It helps many people who, without the agreement, would not be eligible for monthly retirement, disability, or survivors benefits under the social security system of one or both countries. It also helps people who would otherwise have to pay social security taxes to both countries on the same earnings.
