The Corporation explained that the eligibility requirements for the old-age pension are:

Reaching the age of 60 for insured males and 55 for insured females,

Along with a minimum of 180 monthly contributions (equivalent to 15 years),

Provided that at least 84 of these contributions (equivalent to 7 years) are actual contributions.
Actual contributions include:

Mandatory contributions through an employer,

Voluntary contributions,

Or periods for which unemployment compensation was paid.

The Corporation noted that the Social Security Law allows individuals who have reached the retirement age but have not completed the required contribution period to fulfill the remaining period through several options:

Purchasing the remaining service years, provided they have made at least 84 actual contributions,

Continuing to work beyond retirement age, whether at the same establishment, a different employer, or through voluntary contributions, which are available to Jordanians.

The SSC also clarified that the old-age retirement pension is adjusted annually based on either the inflation rate or the annual average wage growth, whichever is lower. The amount of the annual increase is announced in May each year.
