Amman: Acting Director General of the Social Security Corporation (SSC), Dr. Jadallah Khalayleh, affirmed the corporation's "full readiness" to provide its expertise and capabilities to assist the Palestinian side in developing retirement and social security mechanisms and improving their benefits and procedures. Khalayleh's stance came during a meeting with an official Palestinian delegation, headed by Palestinian Minister of Labor, Inas Attari, to review the SSC's experience in the fields of social protection, insurance, and programs.
According to Jordan News Agency, Khalayleh emphasized that the SSC has been in contact with the Palestine Pension Fund Authority (PPFA) over the past years to share its experiences in this field. He stressed the corporation's "continued" efforts to strengthen and sustain its partnership with the Palestinian side and offer insurance and technical expertise. Khalayleh highlighted that the SSC has kept pace with developments regionally and globally, making significant strides in social insurance and e-services for insured persons and retirees.
For her part, Attari expressed that the "brotherly and historic" bilateral relations are paving the way for "more effective" cooperation in the social protection field. She expressed gratitude for the SSC's support and training provided under the previous partnership agreement with PPFA, and she hoped to maintain the implementation of the two bodies' memorandum of understanding to benefit from their "rich" experience in the social insurance area.
After reviewing the SSC's extensive experience, Attari noted that the main focus is on setting the appropriate date for launching a Palestinian social security body, as well as identifying the stages and factors that would facilitate its promotion drive and mechanisms for planning, implementation, and follow-up.
