According to the compilation from the 2026 Presidential Annual Program, the population rate covered by social insurance reached 89.7% in 2024 due to the fight against unregistered employment and the effects of premium incentives. New policies and measures will be implemented to make the social security system fairer, more effective, and sustainable.
ACCESS TO THE SYSTEM WILL BE EASIER
The scope of social security will be expanded, and the premium base will be strengthened. New applications targeting different professions and income groups will be developed to facilitate access to the system. The scope of the easy employer application, which includes businesses employing workers such as building attendants, domestic workers, and caregivers for children and the elderly but not engaged in commercial activities, will be expanded. Additionally, facilitating mechanisms will be created for groups that are not covered by social security or have difficulty accessing the system.
MONTHLY ALLOWANCE SYSTEM WILL BE RESTRUCTURED
Special social insurance programs will be prepared for groups such as low-income tradespeople, artisans, farmers, and seasonal workers. With these programs, it is aimed to bring more people under the umbrella of social security. In the new period, the monthly allowance system will be transformed into a structure that encourages individuals to remain employed for a longer period. Regulations that consider fairness and actuarial balance will strengthen the financial sustainability of the social security system. Joint efforts will be carried out among relevant institutions for these reforms, and the scope of income-based premium reporting will be expanded.
PREMIUM COLLECTION WILL BE INCREASED, GUIDANCE WILL BE PROVIDED TO DEBTORS
To increase premium collections in the social security system, debt tracking and collection processes will be activated. Follow-up procedures will be implemented more decisively within the framework of the Law on the Collection Procedure of Public Receivables. Communication will be established with insured individuals who owe money to SGK, and guidance and information activities will be carried out to facilitate the payment of debts.
INSPECTIONS WILL BE STRENGTHENED
To increase the effectiveness of the social security system, risk-based inspection and guidance activities will be carried out for sectors and workplaces. An automatic warning system will be activated via text message for insured individuals whose earnings subject to premium have decreased by more than 20% compared to the previous month. Inspection activities based on data analysis will be increased to combat unregistered employment and wages, further expanding the premium base.
