The National Insurance Institute’s response to the coronavirus pandemic

Implementation year:
2020
Award Year:
2022
National Insurance Institute , Israel , Europe

In March 2020, the coronavirus pandemic broke out in Israel.

What began as a health crisis soon turned into an economic crisis, which led many workers to go on forced unpaid leave and went to the National Insurance Institute (NII) for assistance. There was a need to find creative solutions within the limits of the law and the data available to the NII, and to find workable and quick solutions that would allow the payment of unemployment benefits to unpaid workers.

The Public Sector Pension Scheme for public and civil servants managed by the Civil Service Agency (CSA) was non-contributory and was fully funded by taxes. The government also made social security benefits payments on behalf of all civil and public servants as mandated by law to the National Social Security and Welfare Corporation (NASSCORP) of Liberia. Approximately 18,000 pensioners received monthly pension payments amounting to more than 500,000.00 United States dollars (USD).

National Social Security and Welfare Corporation , Liberia , Africa
The National Social Security and Welfare Corporation (NASSCORP) is responsible for administration and payment of eight benefit types: Retirement, Survival and Invalidity Pensions, Retirement and Survival Grants, Temporary and Permanent Disablement Benefits, and Refunds.
 
Prior to the introduction of technology, benefit processing workflow took an average of 120 days. This was due to lack of, or inadequate paper records. Every department involved in the process had separate rules, some of which were counterproductive.
