Recovery procedures : statistical data applicable to reference year 2021

At least two Member States are involved in a cross-border situation. In such situations, the risk exists that social security contributions are not paid for/by mobile persons to the public authority in the competent Member State. Furthermore, there is a risk that benefits are unduly paid to mobile persons due to fraud or error. Chapter III of Title IV of the Implementing Regulation defines the procedures and rules on mutual assistance for the recovery of such claims. These provisions are very important, because an effective recovery considerably helps to tackle the risk of fraud and error.
