WE MAY CHANGE OUR TYPE OF INSURANCE BY THE END OF THE MONTH

Self-insured persons can change the type of insurance until January 31, the National Revenue Agency reminds. Self-insured persons are necessarily insured in the "Pensions" fund of the state social insurance (DOO), and they can also be insured in the "General illness and maternity" fund at their choice.

Self-insured persons who choose to make insurance contributions also to the "General illness and maternity" fund can benefit from all insured social risks (excluding occupational accidents and occupational diseases and unemployment) of the state social insurance DOO. The other option is to make insurance contributions at a lower rate only to the Pension Fund of the the state social insurance (for disability due to general illness, old age and death).

In this case, however, the self-insured do not have the right to cash benefits for temporary incapacity due to general illness, pregnancy and childbirth, for raising a child up to 2 years of age, for raising a child up to 8 years of age from the father (adoptive), etc. , paid by the state social insurance, the NRA reminds.

The type of insurance for self-insured persons can be changed for each calendar year, if a declaration is submitted according to a form approved by the executive director of the NRA. The deadline for submitting the document is January 31 of the respective year. The declaration is submitted in an office of the National Revenue Agency or through the e-services of the revenue agency with a personal identification code or a qualified electronic signature.

In case of interruption and resumption of the relevant work activity, as well as when starting another work activity by the self-insured person during the calendar year, the already selected and declared type of insurance cannot be changed.
