Sikringsstyrelsen

Sikringsstyrelsen, later Den Sociale Sikringsstyrelse, was a Danish Directorate (Scandinavia) in the Velfærdsministeriet, which was absorbed into the Pensionsstyrelsen in 2009.

The directorate worked to secure citizens' social rights, including in the form of international pension and social security, across national borders. It intervened in individual cases. At the same time, the directorate oversaw individual citizens' compliance with rules in the directorate's area.

In 1989, the sikringsstyrelsen was divided into the Arbejdsskadestyrelsen and Socialstyrelsen. In 1992, the Sikringsstyrelsen was founded, and lasted until November 2007, when it was absorbed into the now defunct Socialministeriet. In 2007, the directorate employed 141 full-time staff equivalents.
