The National Council of Social Security (CNSS) authorized the government health plan, Senasa, to enroll senior citizens that live in government-run retirement and nursing homes. The manager of CNSS, Rafael Perez Modesto, said that hundreds of senior citizens will be allowed to enroll in Senasa if they meet the legal requirements for the subsidized social security program, have legal IDs, and are not already already affiliated with the system. The initiative is authorized in Resolution 315-01 of April 2014.
