If you are a natural person who properly cares for a child under the age of six, the State pays the pension insurance for you if you meet the following conditions:
-
you properly take care of a child up to the age of six,
Proper care of a child for the purposes of pension insurance is care provided to a child in the interest of their all-round physical and psychological development, in particular adequate nutrition of the child, hygiene of the child, upbringing of the child and compliance with preventive examinations of the child.
The condition of proper care for the purposes of pension insurance is considered fulfilled if you provide proper care for the child personally or by another natural person or legal entity (nursery, kindergarten, etc.).
Attention: If a child under the age of six is properly cared for by more than one person, the Social Insurance Agency will register the person who is entitled to parental allowance as the insured person of the State. If none of the persons providing proper care for the child is entitled to parental allowance, the person who submitted the application earlier is compulsorily insured for pension due to this care.
- you and the child have a permanent residence in the territory of the Slovak Republic (if you have a permanent residence in the Slovak Republic, you can be insured by the State even if you temporarily stay abroad),
- you are not pension insured as an employee (or as a contractor) or SEP (self-employed person/SZČO),
- you have not been awarded an early old-age pension or an invalidity pension,
- you have not reached the age required to be entitled to an old-age pension (pensionable age) and
- if you are not entitled to parental allowance, you have submitted a registration for pension insurance because of this care. If you are entitled to parental allowance, Social Insurance Agency will automatically register the commencement and cessation of pension insurance as a State insured.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: All conditions listed must be met at once. If you do not meet one of the mentioned facts at a certain time, you do not belong to the group of persons who are compulsorily pension insured, and you the compulsory pension insurance will not commence, and if it has already commenced, it will expire by law.
