Ammon News - The Social Security Corporation (SSC) announced that 29,329 Jordanians opted into its voluntary social security program over the first ten months of this year, bringing the total number of active voluntary participants to 100,000.

The SSC encourages Jordanians who aren’t eligible for mandatory coverage such as expatriates, self-employed individuals, and homemakers to take advantage of voluntary enrollment, which offers critical protection and financial security for both the insured and their families.

This option, SSC highlighted, helps individuals meet the requirements for retirement pensions and provides essential coverage in cases of disability or natural death.

For many, voluntary subscription has become a key pathway to financial stability, allowing them to bridge gaps in contribution history, particularly for those who had paused contributions due to work abroad or other reasons.

The SSC emphasized that this program not only safeguards the future of those with prior contribution periods but also serves as a solid retirement planning tool for new subscribers.

Enrollment can be completed seamlessly through the SSC’s website, its mobile app "Jordanian Social Security," or the government’s "Sanad" platform or mobile application.

First-time enrollees must be at least 16 years old, with a maximum age of 55 for women and 60 for men; however, those over these limits with previous contribution records can still enroll if they haven’t settled their benefits.

For additional support or inquiries, SSC offers multiple communication channels, including their interactive Chatbot on [www.ssc.gov.jo](http://www.ssc.gov.jo), email (webmaster@ssc.gov.jo), and a dedicated call center reachable at 117117 within Jordan or +96265008080 internationally. Petra
