Abstract: We show that the so-called semi-simple extended Poincar'{e} (SSEP) algebra in D dimensions can be obtained from the anti-de~Sitter algebra mathfraksoleft(D1,2ight) by means of the S-expansion procedure with an appropriate semigroup S. A general prescription is given for computing Casimir operators for S-expanded algebras, and the method is exemplified for the SSEP algebra. The S-expansion method also allows us to extract the corresponding invariant tensor for the SSEP algebra, which is a key ingredient in the construction of a generalized action for Chern--Simons gravity in 2+1 dimensions.
