Procedure details

Your family members can be insured with the Agricultural Health Insurance Fund and Retirement Fund as so-called "Mitarbeitende Familienangehörige" (Mifas). This is the case if they work full-time in your agricultural business.
If your relatives no longer work in your business or no longer work full-time, they are no longer insured. In this case, it is important to deregister your family members with the agricultural health insurance fund and old-age insurance fund.
These funds will then check whether the conditions for insurance have actually ceased to apply. They will also clarify any further insurance for your dependants. You may not have to pay contributions for your family members.
A person you trust can also deregister your family members for you. Please submit a corresponding power of attorney to your agricultural health insurance fund or pension fund. As long as the power of attorney is valid, your agricultural health insurance fund or old-age insurance fund will only contact the person you have authorized.

  • The employment of your family members in your company ends.
  • Or the work of your family members in your company is no longer their main occupation. Whether the work in the agricultural business is the main occupation depends on the so-called main occupation principles of the agricultural health insurance fund.

  • Required Documents
    • If applicable, written evidence such as proof of health insurance coverage with a statutory health insurance fund. You can find out which documents are required in your case on the application form.
    • In case of answer by other persons:
      • Power of attorney or
      • Order of the court

You can deregister your family members from the Social Insurance for Agriculture, Forestry and Horticulture (SVLFG) online, in writing, by telephone or in person. Please use the SVLFG's "Questionnaire for deregistration of employees' family members".
