Until January 31, self-insured persons can change their type of insurance. They are necessarily insured in the “Pensions” fund of the state social insurance (DOO), and can be insured in the “General illness and maternity” fund as well.
Self-insured persons who choose to make insurance contributions also to the “General illness and maternity” fund can benefit from all the insured social risks (excluding occupational accidents and occupational diseases and unemployment) of DOO. The other option is to make insurance contributions at a lower rate only to the Pension Fund of the LLC (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, 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 on an approved form in an office of the National Revenue Agency or through e-services of the revenue agency with a personal identification code /PIK/ or electronic signature /KEP/.
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 chosen and declared type of insurance cannot be changed.
