AOK Kaufbeuren is starting innovative seminars on the social security reform 2026!
In Germany, there will be significant changes to social security law in 2026, which employers and human resources managers in particular should keep an eye on. In this context, AOK Kaufbeuren-Ostallgäu offers support through a new seminar format that specifically addresses the upcoming changes. From November 18, 2025, interested parties can take part in the free “seminar-on-demand” seminars, which cover a variety of topics, including the increase in the minimum wage and relevant developments in the area of digital reporting procedures.
With a total of twelve available appointments, both during the day and in the evening, AOK allows participants to consume the content flexibly and at their own pace. In addition, experts are available in live chats to answer questions, making the process even more interactive. If you are interested, you can register now at aok.de.
Important topics in focus
In addition, the seminar covers significant changes that are relevant to human resources and payroll offices. The AOK points out that from 2025 there will be changes to the electronic reporting procedure and digital data exchange! take place. In particular, the abolition of the legal district separation between East and West Germany, which no longer requires legal district identifiers, is one of the key innovations. However, employers must ensure that contribution statements continue to be labeled differently until the end of 2024.
Another key point is the introduction of the electronic certificate of incapacity for work (eAU), which has only been transmitted digitally since 2023. From 2025, additional regulations will be added, including the reporting of rehabilitation periods and inpatient hospital stays. From July 2025, reporting children in long-term care insurance will also be simplified through a centralized procedure.
Innovations in the reporting procedure for companies
In 2025, the possibility of digitally applying for the A1 posting certificate for cross-border commuters will also be created. This affects people who live in another EU country and work in Germany or vice versa. The application can easily be submitted online using payroll programs or the SV reporting portal. Such developments make it easier for entrepreneurs to access the necessary information and help them comply with current legal requirements.
The ability to issue or revoke the SEPA direct debit mandate electronically is also an absolute relief, which significantly reduces the administrative effort. The AOK offers a specialist portal that supports employers with information on legal developments. Here you can select current topics and receive regular email updates about important changes.
It is clear: the upcoming changes in social security law bring not only challenges, but also opportunities. With its seminars and advisory services, the AOK offers valuable support for all employers in the Kaufbeuren-Ostallgäu area and beyond. Anyone who prepares well now will certainly have a good hand when it comes to successfully mastering the turn of the year 2025/2026.
