When does the State pay pension insurance for a natural person receiving care allowance and for a natural person providing personal assistance?
If you are a natural person who receives a cash allowance for caregiving, or a natural person who, according to the personal assistance contract, provides personal assistance to a natural person with a disability for at least 140 hours per month, the State pays your pension insurance if you meet the following conditions:
- you have a permanent residence in the territory of the Slovak Republic,
- you are not pension insured as an employee (or as a contractor), SEP/SZČO or a natural person who properly cares for a child under the age of six or a child with a long-term adverse health condition under the age of 18,
- you have not been awarded an early old-age pension or an invalidity pension,
- you have not reached pensionable age,
- you have submitted a registration for pension insurance due to the provision of personal assistance, if you are a natural person who, according to the contract on the provision of personal assistance, must provide personal assistance to a physical person with a disability for at least 140 hours per month, while the person with a disability to whom personal assistance is provided does not have entitlement to a cash allowance for personal assistance.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: All conditions listed must be met at once. If you do not fulfil one of the mentioned facts at a certain time, you do not belong to the group of persons who are compulsorily pension insured, and compulsory pension insurance does not commence to you, and if it has already commenced, it will expire by law.
