How to Query SSK Premiums with T.C. ID?
You can query total premium days using your T.C. identity number through e-Devlet, but for security reasons you must also provide your e-Devlet password. Every Turkish citizen can obtain an e-Devlet password. Those who are receiving a password for the first time or who have forgotten theirs can obtain one at PTT branches.
When logging in, the system will ask you to change the initial password. After setting a new password you can access the system. In the middle of the page use the search field, type “Prim Sorgulama” and press enter. From there you can see total premium days and the amounts your employer has paid.
How to Learn Total Insured Period?
Total insured period is critical for retirement calculations. Insurance must be recorded for every working day. Employer-paid insurance contributions, which are a legal obligation, determine the pension amount during retirement.
If an employer fails to register insurance or pays insufficient premiums, they are legally responsible. Working without insurance or being registered at a lower wage reduces the pension amount, so it is important to regularly review and verify your insured period.
Where to Check SSK Employment Entry?
Verifying employment entry is primarily the employee’s responsibility. Employers must submit an employment entry notification to SGK for each worker; this is a legal obligation. Still, checking the status and ensuring it is correctly recorded is the worker’s duty.
After starting a job, a worker can check online when their employment entry was submitted. You can also verify whether insurance premiums were paid on time and whether any payments are missing or incomplete.
To query employment entry via the Social Security Institution:
- Visit the e-Devlet site at turkiye.gov.tr.
- Log in with your T.C. identity number and e-Devlet password.
- Citizens without a password can obtain one at PTT branches.
- The e-Devlet password is available at any PTT branch for 2 TL.
- Click on the service statement (hizmet dökümü) section.
- Choose between the complete service statement for all time or the service statement for the last three months.
- From there you can query employment entry and premium days.
Where to Query SGK Debts?
SGK debt queries are performed online. The official system for debt inquiries and payments is the SGK payment area, where you can also view past and paid debts.
To calculate SGK premiums and check debts:
- Visit sgk.gov.tr for SGK debt inquiries.
- Click on the debt inquiry section to view outstanding amounts.
- You can pay debts by entering credit card details; bank cards or BKM Express can also be used for payment.
How Is SGK Premium Refund Calculated?
SGK premium refund calculations generally apply when a person gives up retirement. The rules differ depending on the insurance type and the service period.
- For SSK premium cash-outs: For periods before 1 October 2008, both the employee and employer shares paid on your behalf (equivalent to 20% of gross earnings) are considered. For services after 1 October 2008, only the insured’s share (9% of gross earnings) is considered.
- For Bağ-Kur premium refunds: Contributions for death, old-age and disability insurance are considered in full, based on 20% of the gross earnings used to calculate the premium.
- For civil servants: Refund calculations for death, old-age and disability contributions include the full deductions paid by the civil servant.
