AMMAN — The Social Security Corporation (SSC) on Saturday announced that persons working for ministries, public institutions and universities under temporary contracts are subject to the Social Security Law. SSC Spokesperson Musa Sbeihi was quoted in a statement as stressing that these employees are entitled to social security coverage as per the law, expressing dismay over some state agencies’ failure to abide by these regulations.

He also said that it is the SSC’s legal committees that have the power to decide on the eligibility of subscribers to social security and “not these public institutions”. Sbeihi also called on this segment of workers to contact the corporation to file complaints in case their employers delayed their applications.
