Key facts
Each year, the Central Compensation Office (CCO) processes close to 1.6 million invoices for individual benefits for old-age and survivors’ insurance (AHV) and disability insurance (IV). These invoices cover medical measures, vocational education, assistive devices or transport costs. They account for a financial volume of around CHF 2.2 billion a year. The Federal Social Insurance Office (FSIO) sets out the rules to be followed and performs supervisory tasks. The IV offices perform an initial check of invoices.
