Supervision
One of the roles of the TR is to safeguard the welfare system. The institution has therefore to share controls that verify the validity of payments.
During the checks various personal information about the applicant and the recipient of payment is reviewed. Data is mainly obtained from the applicant himself but TR also seeks information from other parties authorized by law.
The right to various payments is based on residence in Iceland. When checking residence, various data are checked that can give an indication of where the person in question lives. If an explanation from the person is considered normal, the case is closed and no further action is taken.
