With a compensation association, the Artists' Social Security Fund (KSK) concludes an agreement with you on the lump-sum settlement of the artists' social security contribution for your members and carries out the approval procedure with the supervisory authority. As an equalization association, you assume the obligations of your members towards the Künstlersozialkasse. 

In particular, you report the calculation figures for the artists' social security contribution to the Künstlersozialkasse. The Künstlersozialkasse then prepares the statement and informs you of 


  • the amount of the artists' social security contribution to be paid
  • the amount of the advance payments

You pay the artists' social security contribution and the advance payments for your members with discharging effect. 

In addition, you have various notification and reporting obligations towards the KSK. 

You report to the Künstlersozialkasse 


  • Members joining and leaving the fund
  • Changes to members' master data

The KSK carries out a review of the equalization association at regular intervals and relies on your support for this. You support the KSK in the audit by coordinating it and carrying out the necessary data collection. 

The KSK: 


  • carries out the audits for you and your members
  • prepares the calculations for the flat rate to be applied in future
  • coordinates these with you
