IC, EVEN WITHOUT REGULAR GAINFUL ACTIVITY

Are you performing military, civilian or civil protection service without engaging in regular gainful activity? You may still be entitled to an allowance that compensates for part of your absence.

YOUR IC SITUATION

Even without gainful activity, military, civilian or civil protection service entitles you to an allowance. The amount is calculated differently from that of an employee or a self-employed person, as there is no employment income on which to base it.

Our fund therefore applies a minimum flat-rate amount, set each year, rather than a percentage calculated on a salary or self-employed income. You submit your claim yourself, directly to our fund, as there is no employer to do so on your behalf.
