Until February 1, the type of Self-insurance can be changed
Until February 1, self-insured persons can change the type of insurance, reminded by the National Revenue Agency. Self-insured persons are compulsorily insured in the State Social Insurance Pensions Fund (SSSI), and at their option they can also be insured in the General Sickness and Maternity Fund.
Self-insured persons who choose to pay social security contributions to the General Sickness and Maternity Fund can also benefit from all insured social risks (excluding accidents at work and occupational diseases and unemployment) of social security. The other option is to pay social security contributions at a lower rate only to the Pension Fund of the Social Security Fund (for disability due to general illness, old age and death). In this case, however, the NRA reminds, the self-insured are not entitled to cash benefits from social security in certain situations (for example, the so-called "maternity" in pregnancy and childbirth).
The type of insurance of the self-insured persons may be changed for each calendar year, if a declaration has been submitted according to an approved form by the executive director of the NRA. The deadline for submitting the document is January 31 of the respective year. This year, January 31 is Sunday, so the deadline for declaration and payment is extended to February 1.
Within 7 days from the start or resumption of employment, self-insured persons determine the type of insurance by submitting a declaration in an approved form to the competent territorial directorate of the NRA or through the e-services of the Revenue Agency with Personal Identification Code /PIC/ or electronic signature /QES/.
Upon interruption and resumption of the respective employment activity, as well as upon commencement of another employment activity during the calendar year, the already selected and declared type of insurance may not be changed.
