Coordination of Social Security Systems Directive

The Coordination of Social Security Systems Directive is a set of rules designed to ensure that people moving between European countries can access social security benefits without losing their rights. It helps workers and their families retain coverage for healthcare, pensions, and unemployment benefits, regardless of where they reside within the EU. By coordinating social security systems, the directive aims to prevent double payments or gaps in coverage, making it easier for citizens to live, work, and travel across member states while maintaining their social security protections.
