Spain
The Spanish Social Security System comprises a General Scheme (employees in industry and in the service sector) and special
schemes for the workers of other sectors of
production
(agricultural
workers,
selfemployed workers, miners, sailors and fishermen, and domestic servants).
The following bodies run these schemes:
 The National Social Security Office (Instituto Nacional de la Seguridad Social,
INSS), which manages the cash benefits,
i.e. old-age pensions, permanent invalidity,
widower's and widow's pensions, orphans'
pensions, pensions for family members,
cash benefits in the case of temporary incapacity for work, maternity, paternity, risk
during pregnancy, risk during breastfeeding, family benefits and other allowances
and benefits.
 The National Institute for Health Management (Instituto Nacional de Gestión Sanitaria, INGESA), which is a body for cooperation among the State and the Autonomous
Communities, dependent on the Ministry of
Health and Social Policy (Ministerio de Sanidad y Política Social), whose purpose is
promoting health care coherence within the
National Health System, as competence on
health care has been transferred to every
Autonomous Community, except in the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla.
 The State Public Employment Service (Servicio Público de Empleo Estatal, SEPEE)
which manages the unemployment benefits.
 The Institute for Elderly and Social Services
(Instituto de Mayores y Servicios Sociales,
IMSERSO), which determines additional
social services and administers at the same
time social assistance allowances, noncontributory benefits and long-term care.
 The Social Institute for Mariners (Instituto
Social de la Marina, ISM) which is in
charge of the social protection of the employees of the merchant navy, the fishermen and in general of the employees in
marine shipping.

 The General Social Security Revenue Office (Tesorería General de la Seguridad

workers and manage the Social Security
Reserve Fund, amongst the responsibilities
assigned.

The abovementioned bodies are institutions
under public law and act as legal entities.
They are subordinate to public administration:
the Ministry of Labour and Immigration (Ministerio de Trabajo e Inmigración) is in charge
of INSS, SEPEE, ISM and TGSS; the Ministry
of Health and Social Policy (Ministerio de Sanidad y Política Social) is in charge of
INGESA and IMSERSO.
National Social Security Office:
The employers' associations and the employees' organisations (trade unions) participate in the supervision of the administration via the National Council and the
Councils of the Regions, where employers,
workers and the representatives of the public
administration are equally represented in a
tripartite structure.

The public administration of the said bodies
can cooperate with the employers' associations (Mutual insurance associations for employment injuries and occupational diseases)
and the companies. For such cooperation to
be possible, the insurance funds have to
meet certain requirements: participation of at
least 50 employers and 30,000 employees.
The companies have to fulfil certain conditions as well. The cooperation can also be
carried out with associations, foundations,
public or private institutions, as soon as they
have been authorised and registered in a
public register.
