SED A005 – Request for more information
The ‘Request for more information’ SED A005 is used if further information is needed concerning the determination of the applicable legislation. However, if a specific horizontal sub-process exists for the information sought (e.g. regarding the residence or the address of a person), this horizontal sub- process should be used instead.
You need to indicate the required information in the A005 by selecting the sections for the appropriate articles, the required items for each, and the employers and/or self-employed activities for which additional information is needed. It is possible to request information on more than one article of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004, more than one item for an article and/or more than one employer or self-employed activity on the same SED A005.
If you request information on more than one article and on more than one employer and/or self- employed activity, then you need to provide the precise relation between these in each article- related section. For example, if information on articles 13(1), 13(3) and 13(4) and three different employers and one self-employed activity is asked for, the ‘additional information’ section available to detail the request for each article should be used to specify which employer and/or self-employed activity is concerned.
If you request information based on an article of the Regulation not explicitly listed, please select
‘Other’ and specify the actual article in the corresponding ‘additional information’ section.
Please fill in all known data as regards the employer(s) or self-employed activity/activities for which information is required.
When first sending a SED A005, the ‘type of request’ field is optional, while it is required in case of a later reminder or amendment to a request. In the latter case, the date of the previous A005 request should also be stated.
It is possible to add attachments to A005.
