Social Amnesty: CNSS Introduces Remote Regularization for Independent Workers
To facilitate the process of benefiting from social amnesty, the National Social Security Fund (CNSS) has announced that it now offers independent workers who are late with their payments the opportunity to regularize their situation remotely. This new service includes a total cancellation of late payment penalties. Debtors can settle their debt in a single payment or opt for a payment schedule via the website www.cnss.tn.
Key Features of the New Service
- The service allows debtors to settle their debt in a single payment or opt for a payment schedule
- Those who already have a payment schedule in place can continue to make payments and download their receipts remotely
- The deadline to take advantage of this service is December 31, 2025
Digitalization of Social Amnesty
The digitalization of social amnesty is expected to reduce congestion in offices, particularly during the end-of-year period, which is typically marked by a massive influx of requests. In the past, the majority of regularization requests were concentrated in the last few days of the deadline. This can be explained by a understandable financial reflex, where individuals tend to preserve their cash flow for as long as possible.
The Need for a Sustainable Model
With retirements and the expected increase in pensions, the CNSS will need significant financial resources in 2026. It is essential to review the entire model to ensure its sustainability. The revenues and expenses are evolving at different rates, creating a financial gap that needs to be covered monthly. How long can this situation continue? It is better to address the problem now, as the price will be paid by today's active workers.
