What's new for individual entrepreneurs regarding social benefits? Effective January 8 of this year, the procedure for calculating temporary disability benefits has changed slightly. Individual entrepreneurs are also entitled to temporary disability benefits. The calculation is based on the previous year and the amount of contributions paid. That is, we divide the amount of contributions paid by the number of calendar days, calculate the average earnings from this amount, and pay the benefit. How were benefits calculated before January 8? To be eligible for benefits, one had to have been in business for at least 183 calendar days. This requirement has been removed. As of January 1, 2026, 1,141 individual entrepreneurs were registered in the Stolin District.
