FSIO online
Switzerland has a well functioning and financially sound social insurance network. This situation must be secured for the future, even in difficult economic conditions, since the social network is a key contributor to ensuring our collective peace of mind.
The Federal Social Insurance Office (FSIO) is the federal competence centre for policies related to old-age, invalidity and the family. It plans, manages and monitors the corresponding social insurance systems to ensure that they function effectively. The FSIO also initiates and coordinates reciprocal social security agreements with other countries.
On social welfare the Swiss Confederation spends about one quarter of its budget. In the past years this corresponded between 13 and 14 billions CHF.
