- pension insurance,
- accident, health and maternity insurance.
Cash benefits from the pension insurance include:
- old-age pension or farmer disability pension in case of inability to work,
- farmer training pension,
- survivors' pension,
- pensions from the farmers' social insurance for private farmers and their families,
- supplements to pensions listed above:
- constant-attendance supplement,
- supplement for combatants or in virtue of having attended clandestine lessons during World War II,
- supplement in virtue of forced labour after 1 September 1939,
- supplement for orphans (supplement only to survivors. pension),
- cash supplement for the soldiers from supplementary military service forced to work in coal-mines, quarries and uranium ores-mines,
- cash benefit for persons deported to forced labour and put in work camps by the Third Reich and the Soviet Union,
- lump sum for energy
- supplement for persons at age above 100 years
- funeral benefit.
The owner of the farm is obliged to pay quarterly contribution,
that comes to 30% of the basic farmer's pension,
for each person covered by the pension insurance.
Cash benefits from the accident, health and maternity insurance include:
- lump-sum compensation for permanent or protracted impairment of health or death due to the occupational injury while a person was engaged in farm duties or to the agricultural occupational sickness,
- sickness benefit in case of sickness, that lasts uninterruptedly for at least 30 days; a person is entitled to such benefit for a period of temporary inability to work, but not longer than 180 days,
- maternity benefit in case of childbirth or accepting year-old child for raising,
The person covered by this system is obliged to pay contribution established by the Council of Farmers, according to the Law on farmers' social insurance, for a period of a quarter or several following quarters. The amount of this contribution secures the liquid financing of debts from this insurance system.
Family benefits include:
- family benefits for persons covered by the farmers' social insurance and entitled to receive old-age pension or disability pension from the pension insurance,
- nursing allowances for the disabled members of the family.
