What this service does for you

If you look after a relative at home after a stroke and reduce your working hours to do so, you can claim care credits from the AHV under certain conditions. This prevents a gap in your pension later on. The SVA St. Gallen provides information about the requirements and the application process. It is also the responsible office for IV registrations in the canton.
