SENDING FINANCIAL DATA TO THE SPANISH NATIONAL SOCIAL SECURITY INSTITUTE (INSS) IN TEMPORARY DISABILITY PROCESSES

As reported in the 3/2023 Bulletin, as of last April, the obligation for companies to transmit information to the INSS regarding confirmation and registration reports has been abolished. However, companies are still obligated to send the INSS the economic data in the sick leave reports, as long as there is a sick leave report in the INSS database that was previously communicated to the company via the FIE/FIER.

In order to adapt the sending of IT reports by users of the RED System to the new regulations, a new version - version 6.0 - of the FDI and FRI files has been developed, and the "Temporary Disability Online" service of the RED Online System was also adapted. In this regard, companies are reminded of the need to transmit economic data to the INSS, including the new fields "job" and "job description," with the aim of improving the control of temporary disability. It is also important for the INSS to receive this information because it depends on it being sent, via computer protocols, to the Social Security Mutual Societies and the Public Health Services, which are also competent to control temporary disability.

Finally, it is reported that the sending of economic data in the case of 0521 schemes cannot be communicated by the FDI until a new version of SILTRA is developed that allows this information to be sent. Therefore, while the new version of SILTRA is being developed, the economic data of the 0521 schemes must be communicated to the INSS exclusively through the "Temporary Disability Online" service of the RED Online System.

These special situations can be identified by the values 01, 02 and 03. In addition, the value 04 is included in order to identify the COVID assumptions. In particular, in the case of values 01, 02 and 03:
  01. The allowance is paid by the Social Security from the day of sick leave. There is no possibility of relapse. There is no exclusion period.
  02. The subsidy will be paid by the Social Security the day after the worker is on leave from work. The employer has to pay the full salary for the day the worker had to go on sick leave. There is a possibility of relapse. There is no exclusion period.
  03. The subsidy will be paid by the Social Security the day after the worker is on leave from work. The employer has to pay the full salary for the day the worker had to go on sick leave.

The RED News Bulletin 10/2023 is now available in the RED News area. It contains the following items:

End of measures stemming from COVID-19

On 5 July, Order SND/726/2023 of 4 July was published in the Official State Gazette (BOE), publishing the Agreement of the Council of Ministers of 4 July 2023, declaring the end of the health crisis situation caused by COVID-19.

With the aim of clarifying the measures that have lost their validity following the publication of Order SND/726/2023, the Directorate General of the INSS has drawn up a clarifying management criterion informing that, as of 26/07/2023, the following measures relating to COVID-19 will cease to be valid:

Fourth additional provision of Law 10/2021, of 9 July.
Article 6 and additional third provision of Decree-law 3/2021, of 2 may
Article 5 of Royal Decree-law 6/2020, of 10 may

As a consequence of the above:

1. All TD processes with a sick leave date prior to 26/07/2023, which have been treated in accordance with the exceptional measures indicated above, will retain their initial situation until their termination for any of the legally established causes. The information contained in the medical reports of these TD processes will continue to be communicated through the INSS Companies File (FIE) with the following peculiarities:
- Field 1090 'Contingency' of the TDD tag shall be reported with the value 3 (accident at work).
- Field 1185 'Date WRI/PI' of tag IT2 shall be empty.
- The new field 1172 'Special TD situation' shall be reported with value 4.

2. All TD processes with a sick leave date of 26/07/2023 onwards, with a diagnosis of COVID-19 infection, will cease to be considered as a situation assimilated to an accident at work for the economic benefit of temporary incapacity. The information contained in the medical reports of these TI processes will be communicated through the FIE with the following peculiarities:
- Field 1090 'Contingency' of the TDD tag shall be reported with the value 1 (common illness).
- The new field 1172 'Special TD situation' shall be empty.

3. However, TD processes with a diagnosis of COVID-19 infection, with a sick leave date of 26/07/2023 onwards, with indicator 'S' relapsed from a COVID process of a previous date will maintain the status of a situation assimilated to a work-related injury, exclusively for the financial benefit of temporary disability.

4. Finally, the benefit for temporary disability with a diagnosis of COVID-19 infection caused, in the exercise of their profession, by personnel providing services in health or social-health centres is no longer considered to be derived from a work-related injury, except in the case of death, which will be governed by the provisions of article 217.2 of the Consolidated Text of the General Law on Social Security.

Incidents implementation RDL1/23

As a result of the implementation of RDL1/23, the following incidents have occurred:

• Rejection of movements with errors 7899* READM.DISAB./LIM.INTE.CAP. VALUE INCORRECT OR NOT ALLOWED and 7196* CASIA FILE WRONG OR NOT FOUND.
  In both cases it is a problem with the formatting of the fields. The rejection can be fixed by Error Correction, generating a new file by setting both fields with blank characters.
  If this is done through the online transaction, in the case of error 7899 the field will appear blank on the screen but internally it will have an N, so a new file must be generated so that this N becomes a blank; in the case of error 7196, the field corresponding to Casia File will appear on the screen with zeros and must be deleted, leaving the field empty, and a new file must be generated.
  Notwithstanding the above, the system has already been adapted to accept movements where these fields either have zeros or are blank.
• Rejection of registration movements with the value "L"in the UNEMPLOYED CONDITION field, rejecting the movement due to the error A4740* TYPE OF CONTRACT DOES NOT ACCEPT THAT COND VALUE. UNEMPLOYED. The incident was resolved at 9:56 on Friday 01.09.2023 and therefore the consolidation of previous movements and the first batch of that Friday have been affected by it.
  • With regard to previous movements, no action is necessary, since the incident has been resolved and the next day's consolidation has been processed correctly.
  • In relation to the movements of the first batch rejected due to the error indicated, an error correction must be made, either through the online transaction or by sending a CFA file, with the same data of the initial movement, as these data are correct.

It is reported that as of today a new version of the FIER service is operational, which includes the following improvements:

• New type of search by "Authorised RED".. This option allows the user of the RED Authorisation to download, in one go, the FIE of all the CCCs/NAFs that depend on this authorisation, without the need to enter them manually.
• Extension of the maximum number of records that can be downloaded. The previous version only allowed a maximum of 300 records to be downloaded. From now on, the FIER service will allow a maximum of 6,000 records to be downloaded. However, if the query returns results that are less than 6,000 but greater than 3,000, due to limitations on the number of records that can be displayed in the Excel file (it is limited to 3,000), clicking on the "Download" button in the Documentation section at the top will display two links instead of one called "FIE FILE 1" and "FIE FILE 2". The first will contain the first 3,000 records and the second the rest.
