The rules regarding social security in a national context are complicated. The rules regarding social security in an international context are even more complicated. After all, considering that multiple countries are involved, each with their own interpretation and implementation of social security, the question arises whether or not the assignee and any family members can appeal to social security and if so, in which country and to which kind of security.
