Key points

As provided for by the compulsory social insurance provisions, risks for compulsory social insurance in case of disability of a temporary type is considered to be a short loss of earnings or a number of other payments by the insured subject due to the occurrence of an insured event.

The legislation establishes three fundamental characteristics of an insured event, namely:

  • Properly confirmed fact of a health disorder.
  • The victim must have the status of an insured subject.
  • The presence of a direct connection between the fact of causing harm to health and the occurrence of an accident precisely at work.

The discrepancy between the incident and any one of the listed points deprives the insured subject of the opportunity to receive the insurance compensation due to him.

The provisions set out in Art. 2 of the Federal Law "On Compulsory Social Insurance" defines subjects subject to compulsory social insurance, which include:

  • Entities carrying out activities under labor contracts, including heads of companies that are direct owners the property of the latter.

  • Entities that are members of a production cooperative.
  • Subjects with the status of clergy.
  • Subjects sentenced to imprisonment, but at the same time involved in activities subject to payment.
  • Lawyers, and private practitioners.
  • Individual entrepreneurs and participants of farms.
  • Members of tribal communities of a few northern peoples who have voluntarily entered into social insurance relations.
