United Kingdom (National Insurance Board)

The United Kingdom's National Insurance Board, now known as the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), manages the collection of National Insurance contributions from workers and employers. These contributions fund social security benefits, healthcare, pensions, and unemployment support. Essentially, it's a system where individuals and businesses pay regular amounts to support welfare services in the UK, ensuring financial support during retirement, illness, or unemployment. The board oversees the enforcement and administration of these contributions and benefits, playing a key role in the country's social safety net.
