What this service does for you
Supplementary benefits (EL) cover the gap when disability pensions (IV) and old-age pensions (AHV) do not cover living and healthcare costs, for example during stays in a care home or nursing home after a stroke. Among other things, they cover nursing fees, health insurance premiums, and an amount for personal expenses. Families should check the EL application early together with the IV application, as the calculation compares income with recognized expenses.
