What this service does for you
If your AHV or IV pension is not enough after a stroke to pay for rent, Spitex, or a care home, the OCAS checks if you can get supplementary benefits. These benefits can also cover medical costs, such as co-payments for medicines and therapies. You can submit an application informally, and the OCAS will then calculate your exact entitlement. Because all three social security branches in Geneva are combined at the OCAS, the process is quick and simple for affected families.
