Social security benefits
What is included and what is not promised
Benefits are refused mostly for two reasons: a requirement that was not met and nobody checked, or a deadline that passed. Before filing we look at whether the entitlement exists and from when.
What it includes: checking eligibility and the qualifying contribution period; preparing and filing the application; tracking and answering requests for correction. What it does not include: we cannot guarantee the award or the amount, which depend on your contributions and on the authority's decision.

Frequently asked questions
It was refused — can I challenge it?
Yes, with a prior claim within the deadline and then a claim before the employment court. We tell you whether it has merit.
Can I claim it retrospectively?
Some benefits allow it, within a limit. It depends which one; we check.
Do I need a digital certificate?
It helps a great deal. If you do not have one, we issue it as a Registration Authority.
