What this service does for you
Unlike in Baselland and Solothurn, there is no municipal AHV-Zweigstelle in the city of Basel. The city of Basel does not have its own municipal administration, and everything is handled centrally through the Ausgleichskasse Basel-Stadt at Wettsteinplatz. Anyone who wants to apply for AHV benefits after a stroke, or who has questions about contributions and pensions, contacts this office directly. Only Riehen and Bettingen have their own AHV-Zweigstellen. The IV registration is handled separately through the IV-Stelle Basel-Stadt, and supplementary benefits through the Amt für Sozialbeiträge.
