National Insurance Services (Saint Vincent and the Grenadines)

Applies the rule

The contributory social security scheme. Publishes who must be registered and within what period, the exclusions, the benefit list, and detailed accounts of the CARICOM Reciprocal Agreement of 1997 and the OECS Reciprocal Agreement of 1991 including which states are party to each and how totalisation works.

The body that applies the rule and decides applications. It publishes what it requires, which is authoritative about its own practice but is not the text of the law.

Cannot be cited for

It describes the National Insurance Act rather than publishing it, so registration duties and benefit conditions are the scheme's account rather than a section. It pays cash benefits and must never be cited for access to health care or for what treatment costs. Its account of the two reciprocal agreements is the scheme's own and is not the text of either agreement.
