The reform of social security rules, proposed in 2016, was provisionally agreed by the EU co-legislators in April 2026. After adoption by Parliament in plenary in July, the file awaits final adoption by the Council, envisaged for September. The revised rules seek to coordinate access to social security for those who live or work in another EU country. They also distribute the financial burden more equitably among EU countries and reinforce measures to identify and tackle fraud. Provisions on unemployment benefits, family and long-term care benefits have been strengthened, and the rules regarding cross-border workers and posted workers have been adapted. Although these two categories can often appear similar, they differ in certain provisions and scope of application. Source : © European Union, 2026 - EP Read more
