Years of service and contributions made in Romania and the United States can be taken into account together when determining pension eligibility, following the entry into force on September 1 of the Social Security Agreement between the two countries. The agreement is particularly important for individuals who have worked in both countries but whose contribution periods, when considered separately in Romania and the U.S., are insufficient to meet the requirements for a pension. In practice, under certain conditions, contribution periods in Romania and the United States can be combined when determining pension eligibility. At the same time, the agreement aims to prevent the double payment of social security contributions when a person works temporarily in the other country. Each country retains its own system and calculates and pays its respective share of the pension separately. With the entry into force of this agreement, Romania becomes the 30th country with which the United States has concluded social security agreements.<\/p>\n

The Suryam Association, through Mure\u015fHUB, has opened registration for a new phase of its intensive Romanian language program for Ukrainian refugees. The 8-month course is intended for Ukrainian refugees who have been living for at least one year in the counties of Mure\u015f, Alba, Bistri\u0163a-N\u0103s\u0103ud, and Sibiu. The first classes will take place in Sibiu, as the county is home to the largest community of Ukrainian refugees, said Mure\u015fHUB founder Marius Dumitrescu. According to him, the classes are free and will be held weekly. To make the program accessible to refugees, especially those who are working, online sessions will also be organized, usually in the afternoon. The program is carried out with the support of NGOs coordinated by the International Organization for Migration. Over the past three years, 700 Ukrainian citizens have completed this program.<\/p>\n
