SSC, Hajj Fund sign agreements on loan instalments

AMMAN — The Social Security Corporation (SSC) on Sunday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Hajj Fund to facilitate payments of loan instalments taken from the fund by SSC’s subscribers, according to an SSC statement.

The MoU entails payment of the monthly instalments through a deduction from the beneficiaries’ retirement salary to save time and effort. The corporation will deduct from the beneficiaries’ salaries only upon an official letter issued by the retiree.

The SSC employees can also benefit from the fund’s loans and services, according to the memo. Awqaf Minister Wael Arabiyat said that this memo “paves the way for a comprehensive coordination between the fund and SSC, which benefits the retirees in legal framework”.
