The Social Insurance Institution (ZUS)

An employee hired on the basis of an employment contract/appointment letter, is obligatorily subject to social insurance and health insurance, starting from the first day of employment.

The data submitted to the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) in the insurance documents, must be correct and up-to-date. If they are not correct (an error is noticed) or they change, the employee is obliged to immediately notify the Personnel Affairs Center MC.

An employee has the right to report a non-working spouse and children up to the age of 18 (or studying children up to the age of 26) for health insurance, if they do not have their own title to such insurance – downloadable form below.

An employee is required to deregister a family member when:

• the family member is enrolled in this insurance on another title, e.g., he/she has taken up a job,
• a child who has reached the age of 18, is graduating from school and does not have a certificate of severe disability or any other treated equally,
• a child who is continuing his education at a university and does not have the aforementioned certificate, has turned 26.

The employee must inform the Personnel Affairs Center MC immediately from the date of occurrence of this fact – downloadable form below.

Failure to inform the Personnel Affairs Center MC that a family member has obtained his/her own title to health insurance may result in ineligibility for health care benefits.
