SEASONAL WORKERS MUST BE HEALTH SELF-INSURED

The NRA office in Montana reminds seasonal workers who do not start other work after the end of the summer season or register at the labor exchange without the right to compensation that they must pay their health insurance themselves.

In order to continue to use free of charge the health services provided by the National Health Insurance Fund, they must submit a one-time declaration form № 7 to the office of the NRA at the place of residence and pay the due contributions. Declaration form 7 shall be submitted by the 25th day of the month following the month of occurrence of the insurance obligation.

Persons who are permanently unemployed and do not receive benefits from the Labor Offices, are not insured by the state, must transfer their health contributions by the 25th of the month following the month to which they relate. This means that the health contribution for the month of September 2021 must be paid no later than October 25, 2021. The amount of the health insurance contribution for these persons is BGN 26.00.

The local office of the Agency also reminds that the health insurance rights of the citizens, which are insured at their own expense, are interrupted if no more than three due monthly health insurance contributions have been paid for the last three years. Citizens can inquire about their health insurance status through the electronic service available on the NRA website: www.nap.bg.

Information about the health status is made automatically by entering the PIN on the phone 0700 18 700. The information about the health status by phone works 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.
