How each country pays benefits If you have social security credits in both the United States and Hungary, you may be eligible for benefits from one or both countries. If you meet all the basic requirements under one country’s system, you will get a regular benefit from that country. If you do not meet the basic requirements, here is how the agreement may help you qualify for a benefit: • Benefits from the United States—If you don’t have enough U.S. work credits to qualify for regular benefits, you may be able to qualify for a partial benefit from the United States with both U.S. and Hungarian credits. However, for us to count your Hungarian credits, you must have at least six credits (generally one-and-one half years of work) under the U.S. system. If you already have enough credits under the U.S. system to qualify for a benefit, the United States cannot count your Hungarian credits.
