Independent workers who fail to register before this deadline will be subject to an **income review of up to ten years**, in accordance with Transitory Provision 2 of Act No. 10.363 and Article 14 of the *Regulation on Contributory Insurance for Independent Workers.* For those workers who are already registered, the limitation period will remain at four years, **except in cases of omission or fraud,** where a ten-year period will apply. Given this situation, companies and independent professionals are advised to **review their status with the CCSS** and take any necessary measures before this deadline to avoid extensive audits and **potential penalties.** If you have any questions regarding this process, we are available to provide legal assistance.
