Is the period of employment until the end of 1985 missing?

This can be easily documented

• by a labour contract and proof of termination of employment or
• by confirmation of employment (employment record).

However, it can also be documented by

• pay slips,
• payrolls,
• attendance records or other documents proving the period of your employment (e.g., ROH ID card).

Is the period of employment from 1986 to the end of 1995 missing?

In this case, in addition to the documents proving the period of employment (see above), it is necessary to provide

• payrolls or pay slips, i.e., documents proving the amount of gross income (assessment base),
• the period of insurance from 1993 can also be demonstrated by confirmation from your health insurance company.

However, if you do not have proof of income, do not despair. In the case that your earnings cannot be verified even by the DSSA you contact in relation to the documentation of the period of insurance, when calculating your pension, the period of insurance for which the earnings could not be documented will be evaluated as an excluded period, so that it does not reduce your average income, which is the basis for determining the amount of the pension.

Is the period from 1996 missing?

In order to prove the period of employment, it is necessary to document not only the beginning and end of employment, but also the performance of the employment itself or the possible existence of temporary incapacity for work, i.e., by

• labour contracts and proof of termination of employment,
• confirmation of employment (employment record),
• payrolls, pay slips, account statements with the name of the employer and the purpose of the received payment (salary), attendance records,
• confirmation from the attending physician about the duration of temporary incapacity for work (this applies to incapacity lasting until 31 December 2008 or until 31 December 2009, when the employer was the payer of the sickness benefit).

Separate submission of a labour contract and a document on the termination of employment or a certificate of employment for the reconstruction of the ELDP for the period from 1 January 1996 is not sufficient, because these documents do not in themselves prove that the conditions for participation in pension insurance have been met.

Is the period from 2004 missing?

You may proceed in the same way as in the case of documenting the period from 1996. Another document for evaluating the period of insurance may be a copy of the ELDP signed by an authorised person of the employer and bearing its stamp.

Was it not possible to provide the Social Security Administration with an ELDP or documents for its reconstruction, but you know at least two of your former colleagues?

It is possible to use a statutory declaration and the statutory declarations of another two colleagues to prove the period of insurance. The Statutory Declaration of the Period of Employment form is available on the ePortal of CSSA at eportal.cssz.cz in the Forms section for insured persons. Any DSSA will help you complete it.

Is the period of service in the armed forces missing?

The period of service in the armed forces is recorded by the relevant social security authority of the Ministry of the Interior, Defence, or Justice. Documents between CSSA and other social security authorities are only transferred in relation to a request for the award of a pension.

Is the period of performing gainful activity abroad missing?

The period of gainful activity abroad is not recorded by CSSA, as it is recorded by the relevant foreign insurance provider. If it is a period of gainful activity in a contractual foreign country, the foreign insurance provider issues a confirmation of it based on a request from CSSA in relation to the pension insurance benefit proceedings.
