What this service does for you
People who receive an IV or AHV pension after a stroke and cannot cover their living costs with it can apply for supplementary benefits. In Basel-Stadt, this is not done through a local municipal office, but through the Amt für Sozialbeiträge on Grenzacherstrasse – people often confuse this. Supplementary benefits can also cover costs related to illness and disability, such as deductibles for therapies, dental treatments, or assistive devices. You register directly with the ASB using a form.
