AMMAN — The number of individual (optional) subscribers registered with the Social Security Corporation (SSC) increased by 3 per cent during the past two months, when compared with early August.

The number of active subscribers currently rose to 70,850, compared with 68,000 voluntary subscribers in August. SSC Spokesperson Musa Sbeihi, in a statement carried by the Jordan News Agency, Petra, highlighted the benefits of optional subscription including pension upon retirement and coverage for disabilities and death.

Sbeihi also added that the number of optional subscribers who receive salaries has reached 40,000, constituting 17 per cent of total beneficiaries. Optional subscribers have to pay 17.5 per cent of their monthly salary within 15 days of the payment deadline.  Payments are now solely made through efawateer.com. Optional subscription is only available through the SSC’s website (www.SSC.gov.jo).

Eligible subscribers for optional social security insurance must be Jordanian, over 16 and under 55 years old (for those subscribing for the first time), and must not be officially registered workers.
