    The condition of proper care for the purposes of pension insurance is considered to be met if you provide proper care of the child personally or through another adult natural person or legal entity (nursery, kindergarten, etc.).

    Note: If a child with a long-term adverse health condition under the age of 18 is properly cared for by more than one person during the same period, the Social Insurance Agency will register the person designated by their agreement as a state insured person.

  • you and the child have permanent residence in the Slovak Republic,
