What this service does for you
Supplementary benefits in the canton of Obwalden are handled by the Ausgleichskasse in Sarnen. In addition, some municipalities run their own AHV-Zweigstellen, including Giswil, Lungern, Engelberg, and Kerns. It was not possible to verify whether EL applications must be submitted through these branch offices or directly to the Ausgleichskasse, because the cantonal website could not be accessed. The address and phone number are confirmed via the official overview of registration offices from the Informationsstelle AHV/IV.
