The essence of the special functions of public administration bodies in the field of social security is characterized. The special functions of social security management are reduced to legislative, regulatory, state, international activities that have a direct and immediate impact on social policy. The essence of auxiliary functions of public administration bodies in the field of social security is disclosed. Auxiliary functions of social security management are designed to implement general and special functions. The importance of auxiliary functions lies in staffing, creating a material and technical basis, forming a financial basis, as well as in keeping records. The close interaction of general, special and auxiliary functions of public administration bodies in the field of social security determines the effectiveness of national, regional and local social policy.
