Jordan News4 days ago
Amman – The Social Security Corporation (SSC) announced in a press release issued by its media center that more than 68,000 Jordanians have been able to access retirement and disability pensions through voluntary subscription to the social security system. اضافة اعلان The Corporation revealed that the number of currently active voluntary subscribers has reached approximately 108,000, urging Jordanians who are not subject to mandatory coverage—including Jordanian expatriates working abroad and Jordanian housewives—to enroll voluntarily in order to secure a comprehensive safety net that provides protection and stability in cases of old age, disability, or death.
The SSC explained that Jordanians can submit a voluntary subscription request through their personal account on the Corporation's official website, its mobile application, or the Sanad government app, provided they are at least 16 years old. First-time subscribers must not exceed the age of 55 for women or 60 for men. However, Jordanians over these age limits may still subscribe if they have previous social security contributions and their entitlements have not yet been settled.
The Corporation encouraged those interested to reach out with any questions or inquiries regarding voluntary subscription through its interactive chatbot on the official website (www.ssc.gov.jo), its official social media platforms, via email at [email protected], or by calling 117117 from inside Jordan or +962 6 5008080 from both inside and outside the Kingdom.
