So identify the employer and the era, ask the company you think you paid into, and use JERRS to check that it exists or to find its successor."},{q:"My record shows nothing before 1993. Are those years lost?",a:"Not necessarily. Czechoslovakia split on 1 January 1993. CSSZ states that employment before that date is recorded by the Slovak Social Insurance Agency if the person had permanent residence in Slovakia at the time, and that CSS

1Z requests it only within the pension proceedings, where it is decided whether pre-1993 employment is Czech or Slovak, on the basis of Article 20 of Treaty No. 228/1993 Sb. The criterion is permanent residence, not where you worked and not nationality. Someone who worked in Prague in the 1980s while resident in Slovakia will find those years absent, so a record checked before the application legitimately shows a gap. A gap is not proof the years are lost."},{q:"How many years of insurance does a Czech pension need?",a:"MPSV publishes at least 35 years of insurance for anyone reaching retirement age after 2018, and CSSZ publishes a lower ladder for earlier years under section 29 of Act No. 155/1995 Sb. Early retirement needs at least 40 years under section 31. Retirement age rises yearly to a maximum of 67, which MPSV states for those born after 1988. These are as published and checked on 9 August 2026."},{q:"Why does a short Czech period still matter?",a:"CSSZ states that insurance periods for entitlement will be counted for you, and distinguishes a full Czech pension from a proportional one where each country pays its share, under Regulations (EC) No 883/2004 and No 987/2009. CSSZ also publishes its list of agreement countries. The United Kingdom and Ireland are absent from that list, and readers in either should ask their own institution."},{q:"Which record do I ask for, and how is it delivered?",a:"Ask for the informativni osobni list duchodoveho pojisteni (IOLDP), now issued as the informativni vypis: insurance (employment) periods, substitute periods, and from 1986 assessment bases and excluded periods. It is delivered on the ePortal through Moje konto and the Informativni duchodova aplikace (IDA). Moje konto also corrects the record: you can add missing periods and, once a year, request consolidation, a CSSZ check that needs no documents."},{q:"What if I have no Czech electronic credentials?",a:"CSSZ lists Identita obcana, data box credentials, or a foreign means under the EU eIDAS Regulation. The eIDAS option is sourced for the online pension application only, not for Moje konto or the informativni vypis. Any territorial social security administration gives the paper statement while you wait, but that means attending a Czech office, which serves someone who can be in Czechia rather than someone in Toronto. No remote route by post or email is documented for a non-resident. Someone abroad without a Czech e-identity or an eIDAS credential has no documented route to their record and should apply through the institution where they live. Obtaining a Czech e-identity, a data box or a NIA ID, also means attending a Czech POINT office."},{q:"Where do I apply if I live abroad?",a:"CSSZ states that persons in another EU Member State, or in a country with a Czech bilateral agreement, generally submit their Czech pension application in their country of residence through the local pension insurance institution. In Czech terms it is where you live or last worked, and within Czechia at the district office. So the action is to apply locally and name your Czech periods, not to write to Prague."},{q:"My Czech pension stopped arriving.
