claiming US-Germany tax treaty

[spapad]

Hello, 

I have a question regarding the use of the US-Germany tax treaty. Article 20(3) states:

"Payment other than compensation for personal services that a person who is or was immediately before visiting a Contracting State a resident of the other Contracting State receives as a grant, allowance, or award from a non-profit religious, charitable, scientific, literary, or educational private organization or a comparable public institution shall not be taxed in the first-mentioned State."

This means that if I was a resident of Germany  immediately before coming to the US (and actually fora while during my stay in the US) , I can claim this right?

Yes, you may claim this right.
