SED F020 – ‘Information on priority for additional benefits’

SED F020 is used to communicate the information on the priority for additional or special benefits for orphans in a situation where it was initially unclear which Institution has priority for additional or special benefits for orphans and the Competent Institution has therefore first collected information on the length of insurance or residence periods in several Member States.

With SED F020 the case owner gives information on the priority for additional or special benefits for orphans to all the Member States that it has sent the request with SED F018. F020 therefore can be sent to two or more Member States to clarify the priority.

If the Member ‘State which is competent for family benefits and which has no additional or special benefits for orphans discovers that the deceased person has been insured only in one of these Member States there is no need to send SED F020 to that Member State. In these cases SED F021 can be sent directly to the Member State whose legislation provides additional or special benefits for orphans.

Deceased person:

Fill in the necessary information of the deceased person for the counterparty.

The town of birth is necessary for several Member States to identify the person without PIN. Therefore, the town of birth is a mandatory field if the person is not identified with PIN. If the town of birth is not known, explicitly write "unknown" in that field. If the person's family name at birth is different from the father's or mother's family name, then mention the father's or mother's family name at the person’s birth. The person may have had different types of addresses; if he or she has been employed outside of the country of residence, he or she may have had an address of stay e.g. the address in the country he or she was employed in.

Insurance period/Residence period:

The sending Institution informs the longest periods of insurance or residence to the Member State in question. The sending Member State shall give all the information obtained through the preceding “Reply for insurance length period of additional benefits” SEDs F019 from the Institutions in all potentially relevant Member States. Please note that you can fill in more than one period of insurance or residence in a Member State for each deceased parent.

Additional Information:

Add any relevant information. It is possible to add attachments to F020.
