You wish to submit an application to the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS)? Or maybe you wish to check whether your employer has registered you for insurance? Remember that much of this can be done online. All you need to do is create an account on the Electronic Services Platform (PUE) and confirm your identity.
The portal is targeted at
insured persons (for example, workers, contractors),
contribution payers (for example, employers, persons carrying out non-agricultural activities),
recipients of benefits (for example, old-age pensioners and disability pensioners),
doctors,
bailiffs.
A contribution payer is any company, institution or person that registers insured persons with the Social Insurance Institution and settles and pays social or health insurance contributions for them. It may be, for example, an employer or a person carrying out non-agricultural activities.
What you will find on the portal
The PUE allows you to settle many matters relating to social and health insurance. Your profile will feature a tab suitable for each role (insured person, recipient of benefits, contribution payer, doctor, bailiff). The tab will contain data and services that you may use.
As the user of a PUE ZUS profile, you may view your roles and powers of attorney (commission of plenipotentiary) granted. You may also grant a new authorisation to a person you designate. All you need to do is complete a ZUS PEL power of attorney form and send it to us.
