You are self-employed and are undergoing a second compulsory closure of your business since 26 November 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic measures?

If you have received a financial constraint concerning the payment of your social security contributions, the Joint Social Security Centre (CCSS) offers you:

• to take stock of your annual income in 2020; and
• to adapt your contribution base in order to reduce your social security contributions. To do this, you must request an income adjustment form;
• if your annual income is reduced or insignificant, to request:
  
  • an exemption from affiliation; or
  • a reduction in contributions for the pension risk.

To do this, you must have your contribution base adjusted and send a request for exemption or reduction to the CCSS as soon as possible.

Reminder:

• If you are exempt from social security affiliation, you are not covered by social security either.
• If the exemption is registered retroactively (e.g. for the whole of the year 2020), the disaffiliation with the various funds will also be retroactive.
