Deciding of the Czech Social Security Administration upon benefits from pension insurance
Růžička, Roman ; Zemanová, Jana (referee) ; Štefko, Martin (referee)
This thesis deals with the application of the law on pension insurance. Thus its subject is not only the legislation itself, but this thesis is much rather devoted to the interpretation of law on pension insurance and to the limits given by the nature of the legislation, to the application practices and to the analysis of decision-making mechanism. Within the framework of this thesis the emphasis is put on the question of evidence. In this context, the work underlines the time frame of facts required to be proven and the requirement for aplication of already void legislation. Special attention is paid to the use of a special decision-making procedure which allows to forgive requiremets for meeting legal conditions in particular cases. In this thesis I formulate arguments in favor of using the methodological pluralism rather than strict clinging to a grammatical method of interpretation, arguments for prefering principle of procedural efficiency to investigative principle in some justifiable cases and for precisely expressed binding legal opinions made by courts as outcomes of judicial review. Conclusions formulated in this thesis are based on an analysis of the legislation, literature, judicial decisions (especially made by the Supreme Administrative Court), and last but not least on the basis of...

Development of the legal regulation of entitlements to a disability pension from 1996 to 2012
VONDŘEJCOVÁ, Šárka
The bachelor thesis addresses the development of the legal regulation of entitlements to a disability pension from 1996 to 2012. The new regulation that entered into effect on 1 January 1996 as the Pension Insurance Act No. 155/1995 of the Collection of Laws of the Czech Republic (Coll.) introduced new definitions of full and partial disability. It cancelled partial disability pensions that required not only identification of a long-term adverse health condition but also a proof of a considerable drop in income; however, such concept of partial disability became unsustainable in a market economy with relatively free salary development. The long-term adverse health condition of insured persons began to be assessed in percentage according to Annex No. 2 to Regulation No. 284/1995 Coll., which often resulted in taking disability pensions away, but all citizens were considered equally. In 2003 there was a reform of administrative justice and the Administration Procedure Code entered into effect. Reviews of decisions on applications for disability pensions in the form of remedies were cancelled and decisions could be reviewed only based on a legal action. The institute of a cassation complaint as an extraordinary remedy was established at the same time. On 1 January 2010, new legal regulation of disability pensions was adopted through an amendment to Act No. 155/1995 Coll. The partial disability pension was completely cancelled and the full disability pension was dividend into three degrees. The amendment also introduced an objections procedure to serve as an ordinary remedy against decisions of the Czech Social Security Administration (ČSSZ). An action may be filed with a court only after an objections procedure. The thesis aims at ascertaining the impacts this legal regulation effective from 1 January 1996 and the subsequent amendment to this Act had on the number of remedies/actions filed by insured persons with courts in the course of time. A large increase in remedies was connected with passing this Act in 1996 and, by contrast, introduction of the objections procedure resulted in a rapid decline in the number of actions.

Will you qualify for a pension?
Jurajda, Štěpán ; Šatava, Jiří
There is a chance that a part of the Czech population will not meet the basic prerequisite for being granted an old-age pension: 35 years of social security payments. Very likely, many social security payers are not aware of this threat, and have therefore not taken the option to secure their old-age pension through voluntary social security payments, or by extended participation on the labor market. This study tries to draw attention to this issue. Through simplified model simulation, we have shown that the group of people in danger of not receiving pension is non-negligible, and potentially includes tens of thousands of people. However, only a few thousand payers have opted for voluntary social security payments. Based on the data available to them, the Czech Social Security Administration should evaluate the scope of this issue and keep the payers informed, in a timely and regular manner, whether they actually qualify for an old-age pension.

Related to that there is also elaborated the issue of the medical assessment service. There is a conclusion of the most important services of the MAS and particular competences of bodies involved into the health insurance. There is also a mention of the body adjusting the public health insurance including the related area of the review medicine to get a more comprehensive view. The diploma thesis main aim is to compare the tasks and activities of the MAS in the Czech and Slovak Republics. There are determined partial aims to get a more comprehensive elaboration. One of them is focused on the benefits that are awarded based on a health condition within the health insurance in these two countries and the other one is the comparison of Czech and Slovak health condition of citizens based on the statistics of temporary sick leaves taking into consideration the conditions while awarding them. The document analysing method is used to reach the aims mentioned above. This method follows Mayring´s proposed plan and the sources where the information was taken from were firstly evaluated from a criteria relevance viewpoint. After that the gained data was compared within a comparative method in a synchronous way. The empiric diploma thesis part contains data organized in well-arranged tables with comments and in the following Chapter 5 Discussion there is data compared according to the methodology mentioned above. The basic system comparison of social security and health insurance in the Czech and Slovak Republics belongs among the topics of the final discussion. The possibility of consolidation of health and social insurances in both countries also taking into consideration the opinions of the involved experts is largely covered here. The most significant discussion focus is the comparison of the aim and activity of the MAS in the Czech and Slovak Republics. The results show that the aim and activity of the MAS are very similar in both countries; which is logical regarding the common historical base. Czech and Slovak main MAS activity within the health insurance is the auditing activity; i.e. the audit of evaluation of the health condition by the involved medical doctor as well as the inspection if the treatment mode of people on sick leave is being followed. It is also possible to notice some nuances in the elaboration in both MAS systems; which are separated today. Regarding the legislation it is possible to say that the Slovak medical assessment service work in a more consistent way that is also supported by the statistic data containing more performed audits of the treatment mode following and a more frequent usage of sanction means towards insurers which is the result of the more detailed strategic planning of inspections. The diploma thesis offers a comparison of health insurance systems and tasks and activities of the MAS in the Czech and Slovak Republics. It can be used as a study document for students of social politics and a social security law. It can also be used as an impulse to other explorations in this area and to start thinking of various possibilities how to arrange the social security system of these two countries.
