E forms aim to co-ordinate the social security systems of the member states
of the EU, the EEA and Switzerland. They are standardised throughout the EU and
enable workers and their family members to maintain the right to services for
illness, unemployment or retirement when they move to another country from the
one that recognised the right.
The most important E forms
1. Series E-100 to obtain the right to services for illness, maternity and
moving:
- E-101 for workers whose company relocates, to carry out work in the territory of
another country of the Community;
- E-104 to certify periods of insurance, employment and residence in each EU
Member State;
- E-109 to obtain the right to services for illness in moving for studies or work
as an au pair;
- E-111 for urgent health care during short trips to another Member State, for
example while on holiday or on business;
- E 119 for unemployed workers and their family members. It is used together with
E-303.
Note: Since 1 June 2004 Spain has substituted E-111 and E-119 with the European
health insurance card (TSE).
2. Series E-200 to calculate retirement pensions
3. Series E-300 to calculate unemployment benefit payments:
- E-301 certifies the contribution periods to take into account when calculating
unemployment benefits. You must obtain it before leaving an EU country in which
you have worked.
- E-302 to accredit which members of a worker's family should be taken into
account when calculating unemployment benefits.
- E-303 to transfer the right to receive unemployment benefits to an EU country
other than the country of residence. The maximum transfer period is three
months. It is used together with E-119 or the European health insurance card.
4. Series E-400 for the right to family services.
