Eliminating on-site validation of rights for pensioners

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.

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. To this end, the ANSES made available a range of new services by means of an online system that generates new forms to access benefits in real-time.

Integration of social security administration with the National ID

As part of the social security reform processes in Indonesia, BPJS Ketenagakerjaan initiated a project to integrate its whole administration system with the National ID administered by the Home Affairs Ministry (which was recently reformed in the agenda of national public administration).

Systemic electronic exchange of data

Actually, the systemic electronic exchange of data between SSC and the partners, stakeholders, and counterparts stems from its strategic orientation to deliver high quality services. To achieve this, SSC has signed bilateral agreements and memoranda of understanding with both private and public sector organizations.
