The article covers issues related to compulsory state social insurance, which is one of the mechanisms for ensuring health of employees in the course of their work. In his article the author states that accidents and occupational diseases are one of the biggest threats to the health of the working population of Ukraine. The author of the article emphasizes the need to reorient the institution of compulsory state social insurance to strengthen prevention of accidents and occupational diseases, which, accordingly, has lower economic costs than compensation for workers who have suffered any health damage. He also emphasizes the need to finance preventive measures by the Social Insurance Fund, which is not currently implemented. The article emphasizes importance of updating the list of occupational diseases that occur due to occurrence of modern harmful production factors that harm health of the employees. Currently the list of occupational diseases approved by Ukraine is missing the modern production factors related to digital technologies and psychological risks that are the causes of occupational diseases of the employees. The author also states establishment of the same number of social contributions without taking into account working conditions as another shortcoming of the legislation in the field of compulsory social insurance. The author emphasizes the need to establish occupational risk classes, according to which contributions to the compulsory state social insurance should be paid, which will depend on the occurrence of harmful and dangerous factors in the workplace, number of accidents and occupational diseases. In this regard, the author suggests providing a system of motivation of employers, which provides for the possibility of employers to pay lower contributions in connection with creation of favorable working conditions and reduce accidents and occupational diseases.

Preserving the working population's health is a priority direction of state policy in labor relations, labor protection, and the provision of healthy and safe working conditions by the employer and the state, prevention of occupational diseases.

The current legislation clearly declares the guarantee of insurance compensation to the employee in connection with the diagnosis of occupational disease. Meanwhile, in recent years there have been precedents of recognition by the Social Insurance Fund of established cases of occupational diseases not insured in connection with claims to the correctness of the procedure of their investigation.The article analyzes court cases in which patients with an established diagnosis of occupational disease challenged the refusal of the insurer (Social Insurance Fund) in the appointment of insurance payments, motivated by a reference to violations of the established procedure for the investigation of occupational diseases.The insurer motivated its refusal to assign insurance payments to patients with the following arguments:— appeals of the patient to doctors at the time of establishment of the preliminary diagnosis of occupational disease were not entered in registers of rendering medical services;— sanitary and hygienic characteristics of working conditions of the patient was not based on proper documents;— examination of the connection of the disease with the profession was carried out on the personal application of the patient without registration of the direction from the medical organization;— examination of the connection of the disease with the profession was carried out in the Department of professional pathology of a medical organization that is not a vocational center;— the staff of the Department of professional pathology did not meet the requirements of normative documents;— violation of rules of registration of the notice on establishment of the fi nal diagnosis of chronic occupational disease is allowed;— the representative of the Social Insurance Fund was not included in the commission that drew up the act on the case of occupational disease.In the vast majority of cases, the violations, if any, were of the nature of technical errors and did not affect the essence of the expert opinion on the existence of a connection between the disease and the profession. In such a situation, the categorical refusal to appoint insurance payments to the patient seems unreasonable. Th e claims of the Social Insurance Fund, with a constructive approach, could be settled without a court by contacting the insurer to medical organizations and health authorities. It is necessary to correct the regulations on compulsory insurance against accidents at work and occupational diseases. Th e rules of law should not allow categorical refusal in the appointment of insurance payments to the patient, whose diagnosis of occupational disease, which led to a decrease in working capacity, is established on the merits correctly. Claims of the insurer to the procedure of investigation of a case of occupational disease are most rationally considered in the pre-trial procedure within the framework of the dialogue of the Social Insurance Fund with local health authorities.

The article deals with the issues of functioning of the social insurance institution, the organizational-legal and financial forms of which are presented by the state extrabudgetary social funds - Pension Fund of Russia, Mandatory Social Insurance Fund and Mandatory Health Insurance Fund. It considers the main characteristics of social insurance: a) scope of covering the employed population by insurance protection; b) contribution rates as related to wages; c) level of protection of population incomes (pensions and benefits as related to wages and subsistence minimum); d) availability of quality medical assistance and rehabilitation services. There are analyzed the present social risks and problems of the RF insurance system. The main problem is that the amount of financial expenditures on all types of social insurance per beneficiary is about half that of most developed and developing countries. The primary cause is lacking motivation of both employees and employers to participate in the mandatory social insurance and to legalize their earnings. In the conclusion there are formulated a number of proposals for improvement of the institution of social insurance in Russia. It is proposed to expand the range of insurance cases concerning unemployment insurance and care for elderly people, to increase the total amount of compulsory contributions to extrabudgetary insurance funds from 30.2% up to 42.5% from three sources - employees, employers and the state.

True Structure

Contrary to the popular belief, the supplementary parental benefit called the “maternity pension” introduced by the Law of 31 January 2019 is not a retirement benefit in the literal sense, financed from the Social Insurance Fund. What is more, it is not a guaranteed benefit for those who raised four or more children, but a discretionary provision benefit financed from the state budget. Unfortunately, at first, a significant part of the society was impressed by the very idea of granting a “benefit” to people who instead of work brought up a large group of children, and did not go into the details of this program, which, as it turned out later, are crucial. This study aims to provide a detailed analysis of the provisions of the Law on supplementary parental benefit, so as to show in detail its true structure. In addition, it will also present the effects of the maternal law and indicate other solutions that could be introduced so that the assumption of honouring the effort put into the education of numerous offspring is fully implemented for all on equal terms.
