Slovakia Plans to Expand Social Security Agency's Debt Collection Powers

The Slovak government plans to expand the debt collection powers of Sociálna poisťovňa, the country's social security agency. Under the proposed changes, the agency would gain the authority to seize debtors' assets as part of its debt recovery efforts. The Social Security Agency currently administers pension, disability, and unemployment benefits for Slovak citizens and collects mandatory social insurance contributions from employers and employees. The expanded powers would strengthen the agency's ability to recover unpaid contributions and other debts owed to the social security system, potentially improving the financial stability of Slovakia's social insurance programs.
