Notify the Artists' Social Security Fund of a change in your professional situation

Service Description

As a person who is self-employed as an artist or journalist, you are generally subject to statutory pension, health and long-term care insurance via the artists' social insurance scheme.

However, this only applies if there are no specific exceptions or if you are insured elsewhere with priority. If there is a fundamental change in your professional situation, you must inform the Künstlersozialkasse (KSK) immediately.

Examples of professional circumstances that may have an impact on your existing obligation to be insured with the KSK:

  • dependent employment
  • Unemployment benefit payments
  • Other self-employed activities or commercial income
  • shareholdings in companies
  • Activities in agriculture
  • commencement of studies
  • Federal voluntary service / military service

In addition, there are other professional circumstances that affect the insurance relationship in the artists' social insurance.

For detailed advice, please contact the KSK directly.
