Verkhovna Rada supported amendments to the legislation on compulsory state social insurance: what is envisaged
Kyiv • UNN
The Verkhovna Rada adopted as a basis a draft law that gives the Pension Fund the authority to provide compulsory state social insurance for temporary disability instead of the liquidated Social Insurance Fund, while addressing the social rights of people with disabilities and internally displaced persons.
The Verkhovna Rada has adopted as a basis the draft law No. 10017 on the Pension Fund's functions as an authorized body in the areas of compulsory state social insurance that caused disability, according to the deputy corps, UNN reports.
No. 10017 - performance by the Pension Fund of the functions of an authorized body in the areas of compulsory state social insurance that caused disability - as a basis
The need for its adoption is due to the fact that the Social Insurance Fund of Ukraine and the departments of its executive directorate have ceased operations, and the functions in the field of compulsory state social insurance in connection with temporary disability and compulsory state social insurance against industrial accidents and occupational diseases that caused disability are performed by the Pension Fund of Ukraine and its territorial bodies from January 1, 2023.
The draft law also amends a number of other laws. The MPs pointed out that this draft law, in particular, proposes:
⁃ Eliminate the norms and define compulsory insurance for officials of the state protection service of the nature reserve fund.
⁃ Clarify the conditions and procedure for awarding insurance payments to persons who have been victims of an industrial accident or occupational disease.
⁃ Establish a procedure for the appointment and payment of temporary disability, maternity and childbirth benefits for persons both at their main place of work and at a part-time job.
⁃ Determine that social and medical services for victims will be provided in accordance with the assessment of their needs in accordance with relevant laws, and that their organization and compensation will be determined by the government.
Remarks
MP Iryna Gerashchenko had comments on the issue of social rights of "people with disabilities and veterans, including military personnel who lost limbs" in the context of the draft law.
As noted by human rights activists, draft law No. 10017 also proposes to determine that insurance payments will be made to IDPs from the TOT if they have the necessary documents confirming their right to such payments.
During the discussion of the draft law within the terms of reference of the Committee on Human Rights, De-occupation and Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories of Ukraine, National Minorities and Interethnic Relations, it was also noted that there were some comments to the draft law.
- According to the proposed wording of the draft law, only internally displaced persons from the temporarily occupied territories will be entitled to receive insurance payments and social services under the compulsory state social insurance in the cases specified in the draft law. At the same time, according to the provisions of the government's resolution, other persons are also entitled to receive a certificate of IDP registration. In this regard, the relevant provision of the draft law, the committee pointed out, "needs to be clarified in order to ensure the realization of the relevant rights by all internally displaced persons who may need it."
- It was also noted that the electronic information interaction between the information and communication systems of the authorities and others regarding information about IDPs proposed in the draft law creates conditions under which information collected by authorized state authorities from individuals for certain legitimate purposes will be freely processed by other state authorities for other purposes that are incompatible with the purposes for which they were originally collected. In view of the above, the committee pointed out, "the relevant provision of the draft law should also provide for a provision according to which the relevant information will be provided subject to obtaining additional consent from the IDP as a personal data subject."
MPs emphasized the need to take these comments into account when the main committee prepares the draft law for the second reading.
