The National Social Security Council (CNSS) is working on a study aimed at presenting application strategies and mechanisms for the expansion of the coverage by the Dominican Social Security System (SDSS) and the practical guidance for including the informal sector and other difficult coverage groups in the system. CNSS general manager Rafael Perez Modesto told Diario Libre that extending the coverage would not represent a threat to the system, because it would not affect the financial balance, according to the availability of resources in the country.
Perez Modesto was responding to questions from the president of the Dominican Republic Managers Confederation (Copardom), Jaime O. Gonzalez, who warned that including segments of the population located in the informal sector, domestics and any other group of workers in the Contributive Public Health Regime would increase the SDSS financial imbalance and could take it to bankruptcy.
He recalled that the members of the SNSS, by means of Resolution 286-05 of 2 February 2012, unanimously approved the extension of coverage. For this purpose they ordered a study on the financial, organizational and potential aspects with the objective of making adjustments that would prevent the system from being out of balance. The SDSS was designed with three regimes in mind: the Contributive, financed by the employee and the employer; the Subsidized, financed by the state, and the Contributive Subsidized, financed by the worker and the state in substitution of the employer, but this has yet to be started.
