Abstract:

 As the social insurance relationship has an ongoing nature, any legal changes shall affect the future interests of the insured. The fact that people have entered into a social security relationship does not give them the right to believe that this situation will continue unchanged. Since there is no legal situation that has been emergedcompleted with all its consequences, it is not possible for the insured to claim acquired rights in the face of changing legislation. However, insured persons may claim that they have legitimate expectations under certain conditions and request legal protection for these expectations. Legal certainty, the principle of trust, administrative stability, fairness and, essentially, the principle of the rule of law are lying at the heart of the protection of legitimate expectations. However, the protection of legitimate expectations is a rather complicated issue. The aim of this article is to evaluate the issue of the protection of legitimate expectations in social security law in the light of doctrine and judicial decisions, and to discuss the problem of whether it is possible to protect legitimate expectations in the context of the implementation of laws in terms of time.

 Sosyal sigorta ilişkisi süregelen bir nitelik taşıdığı için, bu hukuki ilişkiye ilişkin olarak mevzuatta yapılacak her tür değişiklik, sigortalının gelecekteki menfaatlerini etkileyecektir. Zira kişilerin sosyal sigorta ilişkisinde bir statüye girmiş olmaları, bu durumun değişmeksizin devam edeceğine dair bir hak bahşetmez. Burada tüm sonuçlarıyla ortaya çıkantamamlanan bir hukuki durum olmadığı için, sigortalıların değişen yasal düzenlemeler karşısında kazanılmış hak iddia etmesi mümkün değildir. Ancak, sigortalılar, belli koşulların varlığı halinde haklı beklentileri olduğunu iddia edebilir ve bu beklentinin hukuken korunmasını talep edebilirler. Haklı beklentilerin korunmasının özünde ise hukuki güvenlik, güven ilkesi, idari istikrar, hakkaniyet ve esasen hukuk devleti ilkesi yatmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, haklı beklentinin korunması oldukça çetrefilli bir meseledir. Bu makaleyle amaçlanan, sosyal güvenlik hukukunda haklı beklentilerin korunması meselesini, doktrin ve yargı kararları ışığında değerlendirmek ve esasen kanunların zaman bakımından uygulanması bağlamında haklı beklentilerin korunmasının mümkün olup olmadığı sorunsalını tartışmaktır.
