In order to provide a comprehensive view of the issues relating to the application of ratified Conventions on social security, the Committee considers it appropriate to examine Conventions Nos 102 (minimum standards) and 130 (medical care and sickness benefit) together.
Articles 7, 13, 17, 27, 28, 29 of Convention No. 130. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in reply to its previous requests concerning a minimum degree of incapacity for work, medical care benefits, cost sharing, funeral allowance, suspension of benefits and right to appeal and complaint.
Articles 15 (Sickness benefit), 48 (Maternity benefit), 55 (Invalidity benefit), 61 (Survivors’ benefit) of Convention No. 102 and Article 19 (Sickness benefit) of Convention No. 130. Persons protected. The Committee requests the Government to provide statistical data on the number of persons protected.
Part VII (Family benefit). Article 44 of Convention No. 102. Calculation of the total value of family benefits. The Committee requests the Government to provide statistical data on the total value of family benefits.
Part IX (Invalidity benefit), Article 56 and Part X (Survivors’ benefit), Article 62. Replacement rate of benefits. The Committee requests the Government to provide statistical data on replacement rate of invalidity and survivors’ benefits in accordance with Titles I–V of the report form for the Convention.
Article 65(10). Adjustment of invalidity and survivors’ benefits. The Committee requests the Government to provide statistical data on adjustment of invalidity and survivors’ benefits in accordance with Title VI of the report form for the Convention.
Part XIII (Common provisions). Article 71. Financing of benefits. The Committee requests the Government to provide statistical data on the total of the insurance contributions borne by the persons protected.
Article 32 of Convention No. 130, in conjunction with Article 10(a) or (b). Equal treatment. In its previous comments, the Committee requests the Government to provide information on the legislation and procedures available to ensure access to medical care for non-nationals. The Committee takes note of the Government’s indications provided in its report that every natural person with permanent residence in Slovakia is mandatorily insured in the public health insurance system. With regard to third country nationals (foreign nationals who are not nationals of an EU/EEA Member State or Switzerland) who have not been granted permanent residence, the Government indicates that they are also mandatorily insured in case of performance of gainful activity in the country. The Government further indicates that third country nationals with temporary residence for the purpose of family reunification (family members) are mandatorily insured in the public health insurance system only if they are employed or conduct business in Slovakia. The Committee recalls that the application of Article 32 of the Convention, in conjunction with Article 10(a) or (b), requires that the wives and children of persons protected who are non-nationals and who normally reside in the country be also covered in respect of medical care benefits regardless of their employment status or economic activity. The Committee requests the Government to explain how it ensures the provision of medical care benefits to the wives and children of third country nationals who have temporary residence status but who are neither employed nor conducting business in Slovakia, in the same manner as the wives and children of Slovak nationals.
