HomeFraud and error and selected issues in the field of social security coordination
ELA strategic analysis : 2025
Publication metadata
This report first provides an overview of selected issues related to the coordination of social security systems within the EU. After discussing the principles of social security coordination, the following aspects are reviewed: the existing issues and available data on social security coordination; challenges related to non-standard employment and its impact on the social security coverage of mobile workers; and EU Member States’ efforts in developing digital tools and services to limit the number of issues with the application of the social security coordination rules. The report then focuses on fraud and error in social security coordination. Cases of fraud and error in the field of social security coordination can put a strain on the free movement of people and services across Europe, represent a barrier to fair labour mobility in the EU, and result in unfair competition and the abuse of intra-EU workers’ employment and working conditions. Fraud and error may also result in unexpected costs for mobile citizens and public authorities. This report provides additional insights into specific issues related to identifying and tackling fraud and error in social security coordination in the European Economic Area, and analyses issues identified in the European Commission’s report Fraud and error in the field of EU social security coordination (reference year 2022) in more depth.
