FAQ
What changes in my social insurance situation if I receive E.SIS support?
As the allowed income threshold is exceeded by the E.SIS support, the free family insurance for people with state medical insurance is no longer applicable. As a member of the so-called “medical insurance for students”, you are obligated to have medical and long-term care insurance. National monthly contributions for people without children is currently 57.32 €/58.49 € (Winter semester 2007/2008). For students previously privately insured, nothing changes.
Please discuss this with your insurance provider to make sure you receive the best insurance protection possible.
