The pension dossiers of AHV pensioners (old-age pension) and the dossiers of IV pensioners for Swiss nationals living abroad are processed at the SAK (central compensation office) in Geneva by the offices listed below. All correspondence is conducted directly between the SAK and the pensioners. The Regional consular center Benelu is thus unable to provide information with regard to pension dossiers. Please contact the SAK in Geneva directly.

Soliswiss
As voluntary AHV membership has no longer been available to Swiss nationals living in the EU since April 1, 2001, the Cooperative Society Solidarity Fund for Swiss Nationals Abroad, Soliswiss, has expanded its services and now offers its members life and annuity insurance:
