Development of a Sectoral e-Government Strategy 'e-Social Security' 2018-2023 and its corresponding Roadmap for the implementation of the national policy in the field of social security by electronic means (05/2018 - 08/2018).
The Sectoral e-Government Strategy 'e-Social Security' 2018-2023 has been successfully coordinated with the Expert Council for the Integration of Information Resources to the President of the State e-Government Agency in compliance with the provisions of the Bulgarian Electronic Governance Act (namely, Art. 7c, Items 4 and 11 of the Electronic Governance Act) in August 2018. The strategic document defines the overall vision of the National Social Security Institute on the e-Government development in the social security sector and is based on realistic and achievable goals and detailed implementation steps. The Sectoral Strategy and its corresponsing Roadmap develop the vision for the provision of social security services by electronic means in five strategic pillars: (a) development of business models for workflow automatization, integration of registers, and digitalization of sources of social security information; (b) step-by-step development and implementation of Enterprise Architecture Framework; (c) ensuring operational interoperability and inter-departmental exchange of information and data; (d) centralized provision of electronic administrative and directory services through a Single Portal; and (e) further development of the Unified Social Security Information System of the National Social Security Institute.
Over the next five years the National Social Security Institute envisages the improvement of existing systems within the scope of the Unified Social Security Information System, the development of an Integrated Information System on Pensions and the functioning of a comprehensive Electronic Social Security File. Until 2023, the Unified Social Security Information System will be linked to the horizontal and centralized eGovernment systems governed by the State e-Government Agency.
The Sectoral e-Government Strategy 'e-Social Security' 2018-2023 also envisaged the development of a comprehensive Next Generation Analytics Platform.

03/2019).
The project is awarded BGN 5 million under Grant Agreement No. BG05SFOP001-1.008-0001-C01/16.04.2019 and is
focused entirely on activities towards developing and implementing NSSI's Enterprise Architecture Framework (EA)
related to the processes ensuring the existance of the Electronic Social
Security File. The Sectoral e-Social Security Strategy addresses the development of a Unified Social Security Information System (USSIS) and the gradual development and implementation of the NSSI’s EA to cover all existing basic and auxiliary processes. This project focuses on pensions as a key activity of NSSI, respectively - the development and implementation of the NSSI’s EA starts with the priority processes for granting and paying pensions and supplements under the Social Insurance Code and an upgrade of the related electronic administrative services. The project addresses the consolidation of different sources of pension information and income and other documents and data needed for retirement, and the integration of different information resources for their delivery and use in an Integrated Information System for Pensions (IISP). The core of IISP will be the Electronic Social Security File that will include all sources of electronic information needed for the provision of granting and paying pensions’ services in structured/unstructured forms.The implementation of this task is also linked to: the integration of the NSSI’s ISs with a significant number of data sources and information with different level of electronisation, a variety of parties involved and the need to continue NSSI efforts to provide quality and easily accessible e-services for citizens and business. A Technology Platform for Interdepartmental Interaction and a Single e-Services Portal will be developed as uniform and unified points of communication with IISP.
