What this service does for you
WAS Luzern is the cantonal compensation office. It manages AHV accounts and pays out old-age and survivors' pensions. If an older relative has a stroke, WAS is often the first office to advise registering early with the IV-Stelle Luzern. It also answers questions about family allowances if a parent works less to care for a relative. It is also responsible for questions about contributions during a longer break from work.
