E-forms
If you work abroad you generally become no longer insured for general social facilities in ones own country. This can be properly arranged with the necessary E-forms. E-forms aim to facilitate cross-border contacts with and among the various social security bodies of the EER member-states. This means that you can use this form to transport your accrued rights from and to EER member-states.
There are different types of E-forms:
The E-100 series concerns benefits for sickness, pregnancy and secondment; The E-200 series for calculating and paying pensions, dependents' benefits and invalidity pensions; The E-300 series is used for all matters relating to unemployment benefits; The E-400 series is for entitlement to child benefit.
These forms are available from the various bodies in the own country.
