Procedure details
Description
Are you a self-employed artist or journalist and subject to statutory health and nursing care insurance through the Künstlersozialkasse (KSK)? If so, you are entitled to compensation benefits under certain conditions.
For the examination of the prerequisites for
- Sick pay,
- Sick pay in case of illness of a child,
- maternity benefit,
- Injury benefit
- transitional allowance, or other income-replacement benefits
the respective benefit provider is responsible.
Depending on the type of benefit, this may be
- the statutory health insurance fund
- an accident insurance institution or
- a statutory pension insurance institution.
If you are entitled to a remuneration replacement benefit, you do not have to pay social security contributions via the KSK. In order for the KSK to determine the so-called exemption from contributions, you must report the receipt of benefits. It is also best to provide evidence of this in order to avoid additional correspondence.
The exemption from contributions lasts as long as you receive the income replacement benefit.
Requirements
Entitlement to a wage replacement benefit must have been established by the competent benefit provider. The start and, if applicable, the end of the benefit must be known.
