Issuance of an informative personal pension insurance sheet – the request is handled by the Czech Social Security Administration

Main information

Each person is entitled, upon individual request, to be issued with an informative personal pension insurance sheet once per calendar year. In the case of a person who is not a member of the armed forces, the informative personal pension insurance sheet for that person shall be drawn up by the Czech Social Security Administration.

The informative personal pension insurance sheet prepared by the Czech Social Security Administration contains an overview of pension insurance periods and, where applicable, substitute insurance periods, and, for the period from 1986 onwards, an overview of assessment bases and excluded periods in its records. At the same time, it also contains an overview and the total number of unrecorded periods that are missing between the first and the last entitlement document registered with the Czech Social Security Administration.

• The Czech Social Security Administration does not record insurance periods acquired abroad. The Czech Social Security Administration will require data on periods of pension insurance in EU countries or countries with which Czechia has concluded a social security agreement from the relevant foreign insurance carriers only in the context of pension proceedings.
• Periods of insurance for self-employed persons are recorded by the relevant district social security administration and data on such insurance are sent to the central register of the Czech Social Security Administration in the calendar year following the year in which the insurance premium was paid for these periods. The period of insurance of self-employed persons not included in the informative personal pension insurance sheet is documented by the competent district social security administration when applying for a pension.

Appeal options

However, the Czech Social Security Administration will draw up a new Informative Personal Pension Insurance Statement within 90 days of receipt of the request if the citizen subsequently proves the insurance periods, with the exception of periods spent serving in the armed forces, periods spent caring for a child up to four years of age, periods spent caring for a person dependent on the care of another person and periods during which a third degree disability pension was claimed. This obligation does not apply if the insured person submits documents relating to a period falling within the calendar year in which the Informative Personal Pension Insurance Statement was issued, or within the preceding calendar year.

If the additionally submitted documents are not sufficiently conclusive, a new Informative Personal Pension Insurance Statement will not be issued. The submitted documents will be returned to the applicant together with an explanatory note, delivered in person; the 90-day time limit also applies in this case.
