The
Social Security Agreement between Austria and the USA
The respective Social Security Administrations of Austria and the
USA have signed an agreement, which guarantees pension payouts to
citizens residing in each partner-country ('Vertragsstaat'). This
agreement stipulates that the partner-countries view each others'
citizen as their own in regard to social security matters.
If you have paid social security contributions into the Austrian
system you are entitled, through the stipulations of this agreement,
to your pension abroad. In addition you may under certain circumstances
receive credits for time periods even when no contributions have
been paid during those times.
Make sure you secure these benefits as they are offered in this
agreement. You can that way increase the yields of your contributions.

while you live abroad.
