The General Pension and Social Security Authority (GPSSA) has launched its first 2024 awareness campaign under the slogan "Know Your Law".

The campaign aims to elevate knowledge and information regarding the differences between the new Law No. (57) of 2023 compared to the current Law No. (7) of 1999, which applies to GPSSA's current contributors who joined the workforce before October 31, 2023.

Dr. Maysa Rashed Ghadeer, Director of GPSSA's Government Communications Office, said, "It is extremely important for insured individuals and pensioners to understand the laws implemented by the authority since this plays a huge role in making informed professional and personal decisions. To receive maximum insurance and pension benefits, all registered and eligible individuals must follow GPSSA's awareness campaigns that are easily accessed on its media and social media channels."

The slogan "Know Your Law" was selected to ensure customers covered by both laws do not get confused with their scopes and can fluently distinguish the rules and regulations in each Law.

The authority urged insured individuals to read, research and enhance their knowledge regarding the Law, its provisions and rules that they are subject to through GPSSA's press releases, social media posts, live programmes on Instagram, awareness programmes on radio and television, competitions, videos and workshops which will be announced via email before being organised.

GPSSA urged its stakeholders to stay well-read and informed and to contact its call centre on 80010 or its communication channels via Instagram, Facebook or electronic chat on the authority's website.
