Forderung in einem Insolvenzverfahren Anmeldung durch die Künstlersozialkasse

If insolvency proceedings begin for you or your company, the Künstlersozialkasse registers its own outstanding claims.

The Künstlersozialkasse (KSK) is an insolvency creditor. In the event of your insolvency, it files claims with your insolvency administrator. The claims of the KSK include in particular

• Contributions or artists' social security contributions,
• late payment surcharges,
• reminder fees and
• interest that have not been paid by you.

As soon as the insolvency proceedings are underway, the KSK will cease its enforcement measures.

If you continue to work as a self-employed artist or journalist after insolvency proceedings have been opened, your obligation to insure under the Artists' Social Insurance Act remains. You must continue to fulfill your obligations under the insurance. This includes, for example, contributions to the KSK for statutory health, nursing care and pension insurance for periods after the opening of insolvency proceedings. Payments for claims relating to the insolvency period may only be made in consultation with the KSK and from unseizable assets.

If you continue your levy-paying business after the opening of insolvency proceedings, your levy obligation under the Artists' Social Insurance Act remains in effect. You must continue to fulfill your tax obligations. This includes, for example, the artists' social insurance levy to the KSK for periods after the opening of insolvency proceedings. The KSK may no longer accept payments for claims relating to the insolvency period.

You do not need to submit any documents.

• The insolvency administrator examines all claims at a review meeting. The KSK monitors whether its claim is entered in the insolvency table.
