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).
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, caring for children affected by cancer
or another serious illness, 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, Social Services and Equality (Ministerio de Sanidad, Servicios Sociales e
Igualdad), 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,
SPEE) 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 Sea-Workers (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
Social, TGSS), which is the only fund within
the whole system entitled to collect contributions, register employers, affiliate 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 Employment and Social Security (Ministerio de Empleo y Seguridad Social)
is in charge of INSS, SPEE, ISM and TGSS;
the Ministry of Health, Social Services and
Equality (Ministerio de Sanidad, Servicios
Sociales e Igualdad) is in charge of INGESA
and IMSERSO.
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 accidents at work 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.
