AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Teofila C. against the Social Insurance Institution's decision to exclude her from social insurance. The court found that although the applicant was no longer legally obligated to pay contributions after receiving early retirement rights, her continued payment of premiums demonstrated a mutual will to maintain the insurance relationship. Consequently, the court ruled that submitting a formal request is not a mandatory condition for continuing social insurance when the parties' intent is clear and the law allows it.
