The Federal Social Insurance Office (FSIO) ensures that the social security network functions properly and is continuously adapted to new challenges and social developments. It also coordinates the federal government's work in the areas of poverty prevention and combating poverty. In addition, it is the federal policy centre of expertise for general social policy issues and for matters relating to families, children, young people, older people and intergenerational coexistence. The FSIO also initiates and coordinates reciprocal social security agreements with other countries.
