What you get
If you qualify, you can benefit from a reduced rate for your social security contributions. You may also be eligible for an extended flat rate period, which helps lower your monthly costs.
What it costs you

- Contact the relevant social security office to submit your request.
- Follow the instructions provided by the issuing body regarding your specific case.
