What is it?
The SIUSS (former Assistance Record),established by INPS with a Decree from the Minister of Labour and Social Policies in conjunction with the Minister for the Economy and Finance, represents the general register of welfare positions.
It is the tool that collects, stores and manages data on:
- social benefits provided by INPS and other providers;
- information useful for the taking charge of the owners of the same;
- information on personal and family characteristics and on needs assessment.
Who is it aimed at?
It is intended for all central state institutes, local institutes, bodies managing compulsory forms of social security and assistance, which provide social benefits that are:
- subsidised (subject to ISEE);
- not subsidised.
How does it work?
The SIUSS (former Assistance Record) consists of:
- the database of Social and Subsidised Benefits (PS-PSA);
- the database of Customised Assessments and Designs (VPP).
The latter is in turn divided into two sections relating to other user areas:
- infancy, adolescence and family (SINBA);
- disability and dependency (SINA);
The paying agencies are obliged to send SIUSS the data and information contained in their archives and databases, via the web (with timely sending and uploading of massive files) or application cooperation, to improve the social assistance network, services and resources.
The legislation provides for the creation of an increasingly wide network of information, also integrated with that collected in other databases (e.g. ISEE Information System, New Health Information System, Targeted Placement Database, etc.).
It also provides for specific sanctions for failure to send data, which constitutes a disciplinary offence and may determine the tax liability of the official who was responsible for the sending.
For further information, it is possible to consult the dedicated section.
