Knappschaft: health and long-term care insurance

KBS operates under the name Knappschaft as a health and long-term care insurance provider.

Seaman's fund

The Seemannskasse was set up in 1974 by the See-Berufsgenossenschaft . As part of the organizational reform in the statutory accident insurance, it was integrated into the KBS with effect from January 1, 2009. It is an important part of the social protection of seafarers and complements the German social security system. Seafarers can retire from seafaring before they reach the statutory pension insurance age limit. Under certain conditions, you will receive bridging allowance and other supplementary benefits upon application. The Seemannskasse thus takes into account the special requirements and conditions of shipping that would otherwise not be taken into account in the statutory pension insurance.

Mini job center

The KBS is the collection point for the social security contributions of marginal part-time employees (mini-jobbers). The range of tasks of the mini-job center includes not only the reporting procedure and the collection of flat-rate taxes for all commercial mini-jobs, but also the implementation of the household check procedure for mini-jobs in private households. Furthermore, the mini-job center takes on the registration for the statutory accident insurance (GUV) for marginal employment in private households and collects the GUV contributions in addition to the flat-rate contributions and the uniform flat-rate tax.

Federal Office for Accessibility

The Federal Accessibility Center was set up at KBS on July 19, 2016 by Section 13 Equal Opportunities for People with Disabilities (BGG). She primarily advises and supports federal authorities in the planning and implementation of accessibility in accordance with the BGG, from structural access to barrier-free information and communication. In addition, she also advises companies, associations and social organizations on request.

Supplementary pension insurance

The supplementary pension insurance is a supplementary pension for the public service . The prerequisite for insurance in the supplementary pension insurance is that the employer is a participant in the sense of the statutes of the supplementary pension. He checks the requirements for compulsory insurance and registers the employee for compulsory insurance in the supplementary pension. The supplementary pension insurance comes from the former Department B of the Bahnversicherungsanstalt (BahnVA).

Employer insurance

The employer insurance of the Deutsche Rentenversicherung Knappschaft-Bahn-See is a contribution fund for the contribution U1 and the contribution U2 . Since 2006, the Expenditure Compensation Act regulates the conditions under which employers are reimbursed for the costs of continued wages (U1) and maternity benefits (U2) (compensation procedure) and how the reimbursements are financially distributed among all employers (allocation procedure). The employer insurance is the responsible contribution fund if the employees of the employers are insured with the Knappschaft (own spelling KNAPPSCHAFT) or work in marginal employment .

history

The KBS was created on October 1, 2005 as a corporation under public law by changing the name of the Federal Miners' Association to Deutsche Rentenversicherung Knappschaft-Bahn-See and the incorporation of the insurance carriers Bahnversicherungsanstalt and Seekasse . The merger was part of an overall concept for the reorganization of the statutory pension insurance in Germany with the law on organizational reform in the statutory pension insurance of December 9, 2004 as the legal basis.

In 2010, on the occasion of the 750th anniversary of the organizational association Knappschaft, their achievements as the origin of today's social system were recognized. For example, from July 1, 2010 there was the anniversary exhibition On Broad Shoulders in the German Mining Museum in Bochum and on November 11, 2010 the special stamp 750 years of the Knappschaft of Deutsche Post. Chancellor Angela Merkel paid tribute to the importance of the Knappschaft with a speech at the festive event on January 19, 2011 in Essen.

At the end of October 2015, Georg Greve , who was chairman of the management of the Bundesknappschaft and KBS from 1998, retired. Bettina am Orde was introduced to the office as successor.

The Federal Accident Insurance Fund does not act here in the context of accident prevention according to SGB ​​VIII , but as the competent authority according to § 21 ArbSchG paragraph 5 in connection with ordering powers according to § 22 ArbSchG.
