What this service does for you

The Amt für Zusatzleistungen zur AHV/IV (AZL) is the implementation office for supplementary benefits (Ergänzungsleistungen zur AHV/IV) for Zurich. Supplementary benefits (EL) help when AHV or IV pensions and other income do not cover living costs. After a stroke, this is often because of nursing home or Spitex costs.
