Deregistration of your insured employees' relatives (Mifas) from the agricultural health insurance fund or long-term care fund and the agricultural old-age insurance fund

Service Description

Your family members may be insured with the Agricultural Health Insurance Fund and Old-Age Fund as so-called "Mitarbeitende Familienangehörige" (Mifas). This is the case if they work full-time in your agricultural business.
If your family members no longer work at all or no longer work full-time in your company, they are no longer insured. In this case, it is important to deregister your family members with the agricultural health and old-age insurance fund.
These funds will then check whether the conditions for insurance have actually ceased to apply. They will also clarify any further insurance for your dependants. You may no longer have to pay contributions for your dependants.
A person you trust can also deregister your family members on your behalf. Please submit a corresponding power of attorney to your agricultural health insurance fund or old-age insurance fund. As long as the power of attorney is valid, your agricultural health insurance fund or old-age insurance fund will only contact the person you have authorized.

Process flow

You can deregister your family members from the Social Insurance for Agriculture, Forestry and Horticulture (SVLFG) online, in writing, by telephone or in person. Please use the SVLFG's "Questionnaire for deregistration of employees' family members".

  • Log in to the portal with your user ID or register to use the portal for the first time.
  • Open the questionnaire and complete it. You will be guided through the process step by step.

Requirements
