Description

On June 29, 2004, the United States and Mexico signed a Social Security
totalization agreement, the effects of which depend on the yet to be disclosed
language of the agreement. A totalization agreement coordinates the payment of
Social Security taxes and benefits for workers who divide their careers between two
countries. The agreement has not been transmitted to Congress for review, which is
required under law before the agreement can go into effect. This report does not
attempt to estimate the potential cost of a totalization agreement with Mexico or
reach a conclusion on the effects of such an agreement on U.S. workers and
employers. Instead, this report explores one of the issues concerning such an
agreement.
