Social Insurance Agency Sends Out Pension Forecasts, Minister Wants Constitutional Protection for the Second Pillar
The Social Insurance Agency is beginning to send out a pension forecast to nearly all of its clients. According to Minister of Labor, Social Affairs and Family Erik Tomáš of the Hlas-SD movement, this initiative will affect approximately 3.5 million insured persons. The documents will contain indicative information about future pension benefits, which will allow individuals to plan their finances better for the period after retirement. STVR (Spravy) ↗
Minister Tomáš is currently pushing for constitutional protection of the minimum contributions to the second pension pillar. He emphasized that the amount of these contributions should be anchored directly in the constitution, which would ensure their stability and protection against future changes. This proposal is being discussed at an expert level together with representatives of the opposition. teraz.sk ↗
In parallel with this project, the minister presented further adjustments to the social system. The contribution burden on low-income self-employed persons will be reduced by changing the mechanism for the establishment and termination of their mandatory sickness and pension insurance. Micro-entrepreneurs will thus not have to pay the micro-contribution. The minister also confirmed that the thirteenth pension will continue to be paid out in its traditional form during the Christmas period, and its division into twelve equal monthly parts will not be applied. hnonline.sk ↗
The Social Insurance Agency ended 2025 with a balance surplus of more than 1.261 billion euros, which was almost ten million euros more than the approved budget had anticipated. The largest volume of resources went to old-age insurance, where the fund exceeded 8.76 billion euros. The solidarity reserve fund reached more than two billion euros. Minister Tomáš also declared that if further consolidation is needed, it will not affect people or companies. Standard.sk ↗
