Social Security Agreements
Social Security Agreements
Social security agreements are those concluded in order to protect and ensure the social security rights of the citizens and employees of the party countries on a reciprocal basis.
While the provisions may vary between countries, the following benefits generally arise when social security agreements come into force;
- They ensure that the persons covered by the agreement are treated equally in terms of their social security rights and obligations.
- They make it possible to combine the periods of service in the contracting countries in order to be entitled to the social security benefits provided for in the legislation of the parties.
- The social security legislation to which employees of the other contracting party on a temporary basis, self-employed and located in the country of the other contracting party, members of the diplomatic mission and persons who are in the country of the other contracting party to perform public services will be subject is determined and thus reinsurance is prevented.
- Pensions and/or incomes of those residing in the country of the other contracting party while receiving pension or income are also paid at the new place of residence.
- In cases such as temporary residence, permanent residence or temporary work in another country, it is possible for an insured person of one contracting party to benefit from health benefits in the country of the other contracting party.
- Medical tests/examinations of those receiving disability pension and residing on the other side are carried out by the social security institution of the place of residence.
