Summary/Abstract: The period following November 1989 witnessed sweeping political changes in Slovakia, including in the field of social security. As in the Czech Republic, fundamental organisational changes were introduced in Slovakia. On 1 January 1991 the pension and health insurance systems were merged to form a single institution - the Slovak Social Security Administration which functioned until the end of 1992. In 1993, as part of the transformation of the social sphere in Slovakia, fundamental changes were made to institutional arrangements and a new public institution was created known as National Insurance. On 1 January 2004, the long-awaited reform involving the transformation of the social security system into a social insurance system was implemented to be administered by the Social Insurance Agency.
