Social Security Corporation Clarifies Conditions for Early-Retired Jordanians Returning to Work - Jordan News
The Social Security Corporation (SSC) has clarified the conditions under which Jordanian citizens who retired early may return to work and combine a portion of their early retirement pension with their new wages, provided the new job is covered under the Social Security Law. اضافة اعلان In a press statement issued by its Media Center, the SSC explained that for an early retiree to be eligible for this benefit, the following conditions must be met: The retiree must have ceased working for at least 24 months from the date they began receiving their early retirement pension. They must not return to work for any employer they worked for during the last 36 contribution months prior to receiving early retirement. If the early retirement was granted due to a hazardous occupation, the retiree is not allowed to return to such work. Upon returning to work, the retiree must re-enroll in social security. If these conditions are met, the retiree will be entitled to receive a percentage of their early retirement pension, beginning from the month they resume work. The combined benefit ranges from 45% to 85% of their base pension, based on Table No. 7 of the Social Security Law, depending on the retiree's age and pension amount. However, the combined amount must not exceed 1,000 Jordanian dinars. If the retiree leaves the job again, the full early retirement pension will resume from the month following the end of service. Additionally, once the retiree reaches the age of 60 for men or 55 for women, or in the event of death, the new retirement pension will be recalculated to include the new contribution period, ensuring it is not lower than the original pension. The SSC emphasized that employers hiring early retirees without notifying the Corporation and without enrolling them in social security will face a penalty of 30% of the total wages paid to the retiree during their employment, in addition to the full contributions due, along with applicable fines and interest. Moreover, the early retiree in such cases must repay all unduly received pension amounts, plus a 9% annual penalty. Finally, the SSC noted that if a retiree returns to a job covered by the law without meeting the conditions for pension-wage combination, their early retirement pension will be suspended starting from the month they resumed employment.
