Social Security Corporation: Unmarried women’s pension is inheritable under law

Amman, July 1 (Petra) – The Social Security Corporation (SSC)
confirmed on Wednesday that unmarried women’s pension benefits can be
inherited by her survivors under the provisions of Social Security
Law.

The SSC put to rest false circulating claims that unmarried women are
not entitled to pass on their pension benefits

A single woman’s pension is transferred to her parents, or in their
absence, her siblings that she supported during her lifetime,
according to the SSC. It added that the same rules apply to unmarried
men.

The SSC urged Jordanians to verify information through official
channels, including its website, verified social media accounts, or
its contact center at 117117 or 065008080.
