VOLUNTARY INSURANCE 

Insured persons who terminate their commercial activity and are not covered by any other insurance fund are given the option under certain conditions to retain pension and health coverage with TAE in both Health and Pension Branches by continuing to pay contributions.

The above voluntary insurance is stipulated in provisions in Presidential Decree 668/81, article 5, as replaced by provisions in Presidential Decree 290/85. Pursuant the same Decree, the children (above the age of 18) of active traders may be exceptionally insured with TAE, provided that they are employed by their parent’s (mother or father’s) business without being themselves involved in a trade activity (sleeping partners).
