description

Th e reform of the doctoral student education system, resulting in a departure from conducting third degree studies in favour of doctoral schools, resulted in changes in the fi eld of social security law. Th e status of a doctoral student receiving a doctoral scholarship has become independent grounds for compulsory retirement, disability and accident insurance. At the same time, it is the basis for voluntary sickness insurance. Th e author criticises the granting of doctoral students the right to acquire cover under this type of insurance. Th eir actual situation when receiving a doctoral scholarship is far diff erent from the situation of other persons (grounds) covered by sickness insurance. Th e author also discusses the issue of coincidences of grounds for social insurance of doctoral students. Th e legislator categorised the collection of a doctoral scholarship in the group of absolute grounds for insurance. Unfortunately, it omitted in the regulation of Art. 9 sec. 1a of the Act on Social Insurance System a reference to the basis of the contributions on the received scholarship, which in extreme cases may lead to a signifi cant extension of the doctoral student’s social insurance obligation.
