Ammon News - The Social Security Corporation (SSC) announced in a press statement issued by its Media Center that the annual increase on social security retirees’ pensions for the current year 2026 amounts to JD6.70.

The SSC explained that the annual inflation increase for social security retirees is a legal entitlement. The Social Security Law No. 1 of 2014 and its amendments stipulate linking retirement and disability pensions to either inflation or the annual growth rate of average wages, whichever is lower, within the specified maximum limit. The increase is granted in May of each year and distributed equally among retirement and disability pensions regardless of their amount.

The corporation noted that 252,292 retirees will benefit from this increase, confirming that it will be added to retirees’ salaries starting from this May.
