Hi,

I was under the impression that if you pay into 2 different social
security systems for a significant number of year - as I probably
will working in parallel in Switzerland and the US - you would draw 2
pensions (somehow proportional to your contribution) upon retirement.
Does anyone know whether that is or is not the case?
