Stworzony w Unii Europejskiej system koordynacji krajowych przepisów zabezpieczenia społecznego jest gwarantem bezpieczeństwa ubezpieczeniowego osób migrujących. Są jednak obszary, które nie zostały objęte systemem koordynacji, a które dopiero odkrywa praktyka. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest wskazanie na jedną z procedur, której konsekwencje nie są objęte systemem unijnej koordynacji. Potocznie nazywana „poświadczeniem życia” ma istotne znaczenie dla instytucji zabezpieczenia społecznego każdego państwa członkowskiego, ponieważ rodzi negatywne skutki finansowe po stronie instytucji zabezpieczenia społecznego

Coordination of Social Security Systems in Derivative Relations

ABSTRACT

The system of coordination of national legal regulations relevant to social security developed in the European Union is a guarantee of the security of migrating individuals. Nevertheless, there are areas which are not covered by the coordination system in question, and which are being discovered by practitioners only now. The objective of this article is to indicate one of the procedures the consequences of which are not covered by the EU system of coordination. Informally referred to as ‘the certificate of life’, it is of major significance for social security institutions in all Member States because it has negative financial consequences for them.
