In May we informed that the Guarantee Fund is planning a portal solution for the exchange of information between occupational benefits institutions and the CCO in accordance with Art. 58a LOB. Work on this new solution is currently underway with the CCO. The launch of the new portal for querying pensioners is planned for 1 November 2024.
The existing direct enquiry options of the 2nd pillar institutions at the CCO regarding the OASI number and proof of life (UPIViewer and UPIServices) will continue as before. The existing option of requesting information on pensioners from the CCO via e-mail (AVS-406@zas.admin.ch) using a password-protected Excel file will be available until the end of this year. This means that you will not suffer any disadvantage from the delay in the portal solution.
