European Commission welcomes the approval of revised EU social security coordination rules, which aim to simplify cross‑border work and protect workers’ rights. The new rules, updated from 2010 regulations, improve protection for people working or living abroad, introduce a coherent regime for long‑term care benefits, and set new family‑benefit rules. They also strengthen fair labour mobility with clearer fraud definitions, a three‑month prior affiliation requirement before posting, and a two‑month break between posting periods. The revision expands unemployment‑benefit coordination, extends eligibility periods for workers seeking jobs abroad, and clarifies which national laws apply when workers are posted to another Member State. Enhanced administrative cooperation will improve information exchanges, streamline procedures, and provide tools to detect fraud, abuse and errors. The agreement now awaits formal confirmation by the European Parliament and the Council before it takes effect.
