Confirmation of sickness, injury and unemployment benefits

Since the payment of sickness, injury (excluding injury annuities) and unemployment benefits is entirely the responsibility of the branches of the Social Security Agency, citizens should apply for confirmations of receipt of these benefits primarily to the branches that pay them. This is the fastest way to get their confirmations. In addition to the use of e-mailboxes, confirmations may be requested by telephone or email at branches. All contacts for Social Security Agency branches are published on the following website: Contacts – agency branches.

If insured persons contact the Information and Advice Centre, the deadline for handling their applications will be extended as the applications have to be forwarded to the branches. The exception are only sickness benefit confirmations, which are also issued by the Information and Advice Centre at the headquarters of the Social Security Agency. However, due to the large number of applications at the Information and Advice Centre, we recommend requesting the confirmation of sickness benefits solely via the Question Form on the website of the Social Security Agency www.socpoist.sk. Please note that a confirmation can only be sent electronically if the applicant has an e-mailbox. Otherwise, the Social Security Agency will send the confirmation by post to the address of the insured person in whose name the confirmation is issued.
