Appenzell cantons support pension portal
The new pension portal #seinodernichtsein offers advice from ambassadors who know the situation of cultural workers from their own experience. The two cantons of Appenzell Ausserrhoden and Appenzell Innerrhoden are jointly supporting the project.
With pointed questions, the online portal #seinodernichtsein, launched in March 2021, invites you to visit www.sein-oder-nichtsein.ch of the Swiss Performers' Foundation SIS and the Swissperformers' rights society Swissperform to take an active interest in their pension provision. For each question, you will find information covering the relevant aspects of social security: Old-age provision, unemployment, taxes, social insurance, self-employment, budgeting, family law and much more. The information is checked and updated on an ongoing basis.
Anyone who needs more in-depth advice after an initial overview on the portal will find further links as well as a network of experienced ambassadors who offer a free consultation. These contact persons were selected in collaboration with the cultural departments of various cantons and are remunerated for their commitment. To ensure the quality of their advice, they regularly take part in further training. The two cantons of Appenzell Ausserrhoden and Appenzell Innerrhoden share the costs of one ambassador.
