CHIS - Organisation

The CERN Council is the sole organ competent to modify the benefits and/ or rates of contribution to the CHIS. However, the ceilings of reimbursement on certain benefits are indexed annually, according to the evolution of CERN salaries.

The CHIS Board was established in 1992 on the proposal of the Standing Concertation Committee (SCC). It is responsible to the SCC for the general supervision of the Scheme with a view to ensuring the objectives of the Scheme, including its long-term financial balance, in the interest of the Members of the Scheme and of the Organization (see Rules).

The terms of reference of the CHISB include:

  • supervision of the services provided by the Administrator of the Scheme. The Administrator will submit regular progress reports to the CHISB via the CERN Contract Manager;
  • proposal of measures to contain costs and to adapt the levels of benefits and contributions;
  • drawing-up of proposals to adapt the policy of the Scheme according to the general evolution of the needs of the Scheme and to the available resources.

The CHISB is a joint body comprising representatives of the Management of the Organization, on the one hand, and of the Members of the Scheme - active members of the CERN personnel and beneficiaries of the CERN Pension Fund - nominated by the Staff Association, on the other.

The CHISB is not entitled to handle individual cases.

UNIQA is the Administrator of the Scheme. CERN has entrusted the daily administration of the CHIS services to http://UNIQA Assurances S.A. Accordingly, claims for reimbursement are not processed by CERN staff, but by UNIQA staff, who have the relevant expertise in this area.
