Abolition of paper-based Social Security Booklet
Impact date: 1 January 2026
As of 1 January 2026, the physical Social Security Booklet (TB-kisköny) has been replaced by a modern electronic registry to reduce administrative burdens. The new e-TB kiskönyv allows employers to access the employee’s necessary insurance information online for calculating benefits. The e-TB kiskönyv will serve as a comprehensive registry containing the insured person’s personal data and Social Security number (TAJ). It will also detail employment history, as well as records of health insurance monetary benefits.
