In 2013, various actions allowed to eliminate the need for pensioners to validate their rights on-site. This practice required pensioners to go personally twice a year to the State Employees' Social Security and Social Services Institute (Instituto de Seguridad y Servicios Sociales de los Trabajadores del Estado (ISSSTE)) to prove they were alive and that they continued to collect their pensions. In these periods, nearly a million pensioners, most of them aged 65 and over, attended one of the 365 national offices.

Inspired by its compromise with social transformation, Compensar designed and implemented on its own initiative a pioneering model of participation in social housing (Intervención en Vivienda de Interés Social (VIS)), aimed at building communities beyond housing delivery.

By means of a coaching process, the new families of VIS projects led by Compensar develop social and civic skills that stimulate the sense of community ownership. It also improves their quality of life, ensuring communal life, training leaders and creating opportunities for integral growth.

The development and implementation of the Customer Experience Centre involved a previous project (from 2012 to 2014). Since January 2015, the Family Allowances Fund launched a new project that focuses on the client’s emotions and experience when interacting with service providers.

In recent years, the National Social Security Administration (Administración Nacional de la Seguridad Social (ANSES)) has become an agency for the rapid implementation of public policies related to the social rights of citizens.

The PRO.CRE.AR. Fund was created in 2012 to address the housing needs of citizens, taking into account the different family socio-economic conditions. The State has taken two approaches: housing construction projects and public resource mobilization into a mortgage loan programme.

Through this Programme, economic activity is also boosted thanks to the housing construction incentive, which benefits the economy as a whole, not only in terms of production, but also employment and domestic consumption.

The Conectar Igualdad Programme is a digital inclusion policy, established by Decree No. 459/2010, provides every student and teacher in state secondary schools, teacher training institutes and special education schools in the whole country with a netbook.
