Summary/Abstract: This year we celebrate 25 years since the establishment of the Czech Social Security Administration (CSSA). On the occasion of this significant anniversary it is perhaps fitting to recall the development of individual branches of social insurance over the last 25 years. Following the great social changes of November 1989, it was necessary to extensively rebuild the general legal system and completely change rules governing access to social security as such. The employee sickness insurance system was transferred from trade union associations to the newly-created Czech Social Security Administration, which assumed the former powers of the Office for Pension Security in Prague, the Czech Health Insurance Administration and the Association of Czech and Moravian Production Cooperatives Health Insurance Administration and, consequently, became responsible for the administration of both the health and pension insurance systems.
