The Corporation added that the maximum net unemployment benefit for 2025 is now JD 612, up from JD 603 last year. This adjustment is in accordance with the provisions of the Social Security Law, which stipulates that both the maximum wage subject to contributions and the maximum net unemployment benefit are linked to the inflation rate. The inflation rate recorded in the Kingdom for the previous year, 2024, was 1.56%.
The Corporation also noted that the average wage of Jordanian insured individuals covered by social security in 2024 was JD 638, compared to JD 627 in 2023.
It further clarified that individuals who have been insured under social security prior to May 1, 2010, are exempt from the maximum wage limit for contribution purposes. In such cases, the maximum wage subject to contributions is JD 5,000. For insured individuals whose wage exceeded JD 5,000 prior to that date and whose contributions were calculated accordingly, that wage remains their upper limit and is not subject to any further increases.
