The procedure for generating and sending benefits
To start working with FSS benefits, on the main page of the system, select the desired organization at the top of the page and go to the “FSS” section > in the “Benefits and ELN” section, click on the “All documents” button.
If the item “FSS benefits and certificates of incapacity for work” is missing, make sure that the organization of one of the regions participating in the pilot project is indicated at the top of the page.
How the service works
Many people think that the work scheme of the Social Insurance Fund, the clinic, the employee and the employer is complicated. But the system was adopted in September 2021, and they began to use it only in December. Not all employers have connected to the FSS personal account system and not all clinics provide electronic sick leave. In the near future, all clinics will switch to a new convenient system of work.
You can receive an electronic sick leave certificate in your FSS personal account in the following way:
- You need to go to the clinic for medical help, where you will receive an electronic sick leave.
- The employee must sign the document with an electronic signature indicating the period of sick leave, as well as the reason for the disability and other nuances.
- You will be given a sick leave number to use in your FSS personal account. At your job you have to go to the accountant with this number.
- The specialist must find the electronic sick leave data in the FSS policyholder’s office. A legal entity or individual entrepreneur can register in this section.

What errors may occur when working with ELN
While loading
Access to ELN with number XXX...., SNILS YYY..., status: ZZZ - limited
The error looks like this:
The bottom line is that sick leave cannot be changed by the policyholder. The status is highlighted in the image - it can take different values:
- Error code 010/020 . Sick leave has been opened/extended by the medical institution and is in the process of being processed. You need to return to downloading the document later, when it is closed.
- Error code 040 . The sick leave is under consideration by the ITU. You should return to downloading later.
- Error code 060. Sick leave was sent with one registration number, and the download was sent with another. You need to check the RNS and make sure that it matches the one that was indicated when filling out the ELN. If the number does not match, you should ask your FSS department to change the status of the electronic sick leave to 030 “ Closed” . And after that, load it with the new RNS. Or request an ELE with the RNS that was specified when filling out.
- Error code 090 . The sick leave was canceled by the medical institution for one of the reasons: it was issued on a paper bank or an error. You should ask the employee for a new sick leave number or take his paper form.
Number XXX... belongs to LN on paper form
The error looks like this:
This means that after the ELN was issued, the medical institution issued the employee a paper certificate of incapacity for work at his request. This form must be requested from the employee.
ELN with number: XXX...., SNILS YYY... - not in the database
The error text will be like this:
The error means that the sick leave was not found in the FSS database. This may be due to incorrectly specified FSS registration number, SNILS of the employee or E-Number. You need to check these parameters and fix the error.
Incorrect parameters: Per
Error text:
The error means that the request to download the document was signed by a representative who does not have a power of attorney.

Responsibility for the absence of a register
Participants in the pilot project will not be able to refuse to maintain the register, otherwise their employees will not be paid. This is fraught with complaints and inspections.
If in 2021 the region in which the organization operates is not covered by the Direct Payments project, it calculates and issues all benefits to employees independently. In the future, the employer has the opportunity to receive compensation for the transferred amounts. To do this, submit almost the same information, but also indicating the amount of benefits for compensation. Separately, for such a situation, a sample register of benefits for compensation in the Social Insurance Fund is not established by law, but K+ has a good form.
If convenient, use this template. It is not difficult to fill out if all the data is taken from official documents. Otherwise, the FSS will refuse compensation.
Processing statuses
- “Created” - the document was created, but not sent to the FSS. The date and time the document was last modified is indicated.
- “Queued for sending” - the document is queued for sending to the Social Insurance Fund.
- “Submit Error”—errors occurred during the document sending process. You need to send the document to the FSS again. To do this, click on the line with the document and click “Send again”.
- “Not accepted by the FSS” - as a result of checking the document in the FSS, errors were identified. You should correct the errors indicated in the FSS protocol and resend the document.
- “Accepted by the FSS” - the document is sent for consideration to the regional office of the FSS. The receipt can be viewed and printed.
If errors are found during the check at the regional office of the FSS, the notification should be received by Russian Post. In this case, you should make the required changes to the document and send it to the FSS.
How to transfer data to the FSS
With electronic document flow between the organization and the Social Insurance Fund, the accountant receives an electronic certificate of incapacity for work of the employee, fills out the employer’s part and sends the information to the fund within 5 calendar days. Instructions on how to send the register of sick leave to the Social Insurance Fund via TKS:
- The accountant creates a list online in one of the user programs - 1C, SBIS, "Kontur".
- The document is signed with an electronic signature and submitted to the social insurance department.
- The Foundation verifies the register.
- The policyholder receives notification of the result of the inspection.
- If filled out correctly, the money will be transferred to the employee within 10 days.

Why do you need an electronic sick leave certificate?
It is more convenient for an employer to check an electronic sheet than a paper one.
Advantages of electronic sick leave:
- In the Social Insurance Fund system, sick leave cannot be faked. Therefore, the employer will protect itself from deception and will not make unnecessary payments. While paper sick leave is very easy to forge. An electronic document cannot be altered by fraudsters.
- The process of applying for an electronic sick leave is very simple. When drawing up a paper document, it was necessary to use a certain pen and be very careful. In your FSS personal account, you don’t have to be afraid of making a mistake, since a typo is easy to correct.
- Your FSS personal account will always contain information about sick leave. There is no need to create separate folders and store all the papers there.
An employee can view sick leave in his personal FSS account independently. There is no need to distract your colleagues.
In order to view the sick leave certificate, you must go through the registration procedure on the official State Services portal. After receiving the password, you can log in to your personal account. You can check your sick leave through your FSS or State Services personal account. Two sites are connected to a single system. The password on the State Services website and the Social Insurance Fund is the same.
