The Dominican Social Security System<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Dominican Social Security System (SDSS) is organized on the basis of specialization and separation of functions. The management, regulation, financing and supervision correspond exclusively to the State and are inalienable, while the functions of risk management and provision of services will be in charge of public, private or mixed entities duly accredited by the competent public institution. In this sense, the SDSS will be composed of the following entities:<\/span><\/p>\n

a) The National Social Security Council (CNSS), an autonomous public entity, the highest body of the System;<\/span><\/p>\n

b) The Social Security Treasury, entity responsible for the collection, distribution and payment of the financial resources of the SDSS, and the administration of the single information system;<\/span><\/p>\n

c) The Directorate of Information and Defense of the Insured (DIDA), a public agency for orientation, information and defense of the beneficiaries;<\/span><\/p>\n

d) The Superintendence of Pensions, autonomous public entity supervising the branch;<\/span><\/p>\n

e) The Superintendency of Occupational Health and Risks, an autonomous public entity supervising the branch;<\/span><\/p>\n

f) The National Health Insurance (SNS), public and autonomous entity;<\/span><\/p>\n

g) The Pension Fund Administrators (AFP), of a public, private or mixed nature;<\/span><\/p>\n

h) The Health Risk Administrators (ARS), public, private or mixed, with or without profit;<\/span><\/p>\n

i) The Health Service Providers (PSS), public, private or mixed, with or without profit;<\/span><\/p>\n

j) Public, private or mixed entities, for-profit and non-profit, that carry out complementary social security functions as their main activity.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
