A Pazardzhik company, which is registered in an office with an area of 6 square meters, but has 76 employees, is trying to get 20,000 BGN out of insurance. The fraud was detected by experts from the National Institute of Social Security in Pazardzhik.
The National Social Security Institute suspected two companies of related parties, who submitted notifications of suspiciously short employment contracts signed with a total of 76 people. Thus, they declare income and social security contributions, which are accrued but not paid to the budget of the insurance company. However, people can receive unemployment or sickness benefits.
All 76 workers were registered as business consultants and workers in general, but the indicated location for the workplace turned out to have an area of only 6 square meters. That is, for every square meter of work area there must be 13 workers, calculated by experts from NSSI – Pazardzhik.
The company explained during the inspection that some of the people are engaged in commerce, but they did not present either the goods sold or the documents for sale.
During conversations with experts from the National Social Security Institute, some of the workers claimed that they work in a guest house. However, it turned out to be a building that was built with a rough construction, but could not actually be used. Others claimed they supported the coffee machines, but there was not a single one at the directions indicated.
The damages inflicted on NSSI in this way amounted to BGN 19,973.61 and the case was turned over to the prosecution.

In it, people who have never left the country apply for unemployment benefits, indicating a previous job in the UK. Just before losing their jobs, they worked for a short time with high income in Bulgaria. Their hope is that the National Institute of Social Security will grant them compensation on this salary, because according to European regulation, when the time of service in another EU member state is added, the compensation is granted on the last income, they explain The experts. The scheme is known to employees of the National Institute of Social Security throughout the country and it is extremely difficult for such a fictitious appointment to be approved, experts explain.
13 “British workers” still tried the scheme in Pazardzhik, and some of them received unemployment benefits. However, the subsequent check established that not only did they not work for the last Bulgarian insurer, but also that some of them had never gone abroad in their life. The “English workers” have to return BGN 36,224.11 and they have also been handed over to the prosecution.
