As a gainfully self-employed artist or journalist, you are entitled to subsidies from the Künstlersozialkasse (KSK) under certain conditions. The subsidies relate to contributions for your private or voluntary statutory health and long-term care insurance.

You may be entitled to these subsidies if you are

are subject to compulsory insurance via the KSK and
- are exempt from compulsory statutory health and long-term care insurance, or
- do not have access to statutory insurance.

The amount of your subsidy depends, among other things, on the amount of your contributions to your

private or
voluntary statutory health and long-term care insurance.

The insurance companies determine the amount of the contributions. The KSK needs up-to-date information about your contributions for these insurances. Otherwise, the KSK may calculate the amount of your provisional subsidy incorrectly.
When the KSK makes its final annual calculation of your subsidy, you may be required to make additional payments or claim back. By reporting the current information, you can avoid particularly high reclaims or back payments.
