GN 01770.010 Overview of the Slovenian Social Security System

The Slovenian social insurance system provides old-age retirement, disability, and survivor benefits.

The Slovenian social security system consists of a mandatory defined benefit pension financed on a pay-as-you go basis, supplemented by a voluntary occupational pension system and a voluntary tax-deductible savings scheme for employers and their employees. The mandatory defined benefit system, which is a contributory program, covers almost all residents of Slovenia.
