GPSSA participates in the 'Insurance Aspect of Civil Retirement Systems' in Kuwait
A delegation from the GPSSA will be attending the seminar headed by Hind Al Suwaidi, Executive Director, Pensions Sector; Sharifa Alblooshi, Department Head, Customer Happiness; Yahya Albakhit, Inspection Section Manager, Customer Happiness Department; Shaikha Humaid, Contributions Officer, Benefits Management Department and Maysoon Al Derbi, Contributions Officer, Benefits Management Department.
The seminar will highlight the role of inspections in ensuring the objectives of the social security and insurance systems are met and achieved, since inspections are considered one of the most powerful techniques to ensure pension and social security authorities carry out their supervisory roles in the insurance process, without having to surpass jurisdiction limits as granted by the Ministry of Justice or the judicial system in each participating country.
Attendees are due to discuss the extent by which employers comply with labor market laws and regulations, including the registration of an insured employee, payment of monthly contributions and preserving an employee's rights.
The inspection process is carried out through site visits and documentary reviews to ensure policies and procedures are applied correctly and are clear to employers.
Some of the topics that will be highlighted and discussed during the meeting include the definition of inspection, its important role, the laws related to inspections, the different inspection mechanisms, the importance of complying with laws, as well as challenges, opportunities and recommendations to apply in order to improve social security and insurance schemes and policies, while contributing to the development process of the insurance system in a sustainable and efficient manner.

'General Pension Authority' launches 'Mobile Pensions Council'
The General Pension and Social Security Authority (GPSSA) has launched its new "Mobile Pensions Council" initiative, an on-site programme designed to provide direct pension services, legal consultations, and awareness on pension laws to insured individuals and employers. This programme aims to enhance community engagement and reinforce the principles of social solidarity and shared responsibility across the UAE, aligning with the nation's "Year of Community" in 2025. The Council's core objectives include raising awareness of GPSSA's pension and insurance laws, encouraging beneficiaries to make informed retirement choices, and cultivating a community culture that values early retirement planning. Furthermore, the initiative seeks to streamline government procedures by collaborating with partners to reduce bureaucracy and enhance service efficiency. Hind Al Suwaidi, Executive Director of the Pensions Sector at GPSSA, said, "The Mobile Pensions Council is a direct reflection of our dedication to serving the community and fostering sustainable partnerships with government entities." The Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure hosted the inaugural session of the Mobile Pensions Council, highlighting inter-governmental cooperation. Engineer Fahad Al Hammadi, Assistant Undersecretary for Support Services Sector at the Ministry, explained that pension systems offer vital insurance privileges, and it is crucial for individuals to understand them through official sources. The GPSSA's specialised team will empower insured individuals to build practical retirement plans based on accurate information. The Mobile Pensions Council operates through targeted field visits to both government and private entities. This mechanism ensures convenient access to GPSSA services, eliminating the need for individuals to visit service centres. During these visits, specialised advisory and service staff will provide instant data updates, offer legal consultations, and distribute awareness materials on GPSSA laws and services. They will also be equipped to answer inquiries and complete transactions using electronic devices. This initiative serves as a dynamic platform for dialogue, allowing GPSSA to explain its services, exchange viewpoints, and gather suggestions from employers, insured individuals, and retirees.

GPSSA launches set of proactive services for employers
The General Pension and Social Security Authority (GPSSA) has launched a new set of proactive services for employers. The services include automatic registration of employers, insured individuals, and GCC nationals covered under the pension extension system, in addition to disbursement of insurance benefits (end-of-service) and insured individuals' data update services. The launch follows successful electronic integration between GPSSA, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE), and the Federal Authority for Government Human Resources (FAHR). The core mechanism of this initiative involves GPSSA receiving data on work permits, employee registration, or end-of-service cases directly from MoHRE or FAHR. An automated notification is then sent to employers to review and validate the information and complete any missing data-without the need to manually submit service requests, thereby eliminating extra steps and bureaucracy. These proactive services benefit federal government entities operating under FAHR's "Bayanati' system, as well as private sector companies registered with MoHRE. The expected outcome includes a more streamlined experience for employers through simplified procedures, improved data quality, and enhanced digital service delivery aligned with top standards of efficiency and responsiveness. Feras Abdul Karim Al Ramahi, Director-General of GPSSA, said, "This kind of institutional partnership enhances the delivery of integrated government services and aligns strategic plans across federal entities with the country's ongoing vision of improving service quality and supporting national programmes and policies, particularly those tied to the UAE Centennial 2071, which outlines a clear roadmap to making the UAE the best country in the world.' He highlighted the success of the GPSSA's digital platform "Ma'ashi,' which has enabled end-to-end management of operations and stakeholder engagement through effective data integration with 23 federal and local government entities. Khalil Al Khoori, Undersecretary for Emiratisation and Labour Market Operations at MoHRE, stated, "Facilitating service delivery is a core pillar for enhancing the UAE's business environment and the appeal of our labour market. These proactive services, developed with GPSSA, will significantly reduce administrative burdens, improve data accuracy, and encourage employers to expedite the registration of Emirati employees with GPSSA, ultimately safeguarding their legal rights.' Faisal bin Butti Al Muhairi, Director-General of the Federal Authority for Government Human Resources, has acclaimed the level of digital integration across stakeholders, adding that "continuous coordination ensures accurate and up-to-date data, simplifies the customer journey, and supports the national agenda in building an integrated digital government.' The proactive services represent a non-traditional model of public service delivery adopted by the UAE government. They rely on real-time, secure data exchange between interconnected systems, providing seamless, proactive services without direct customer intervention. This innovative model reflects a major transformation in how government services are conceived and delivered, simplifying lives and reinforcing the UAE's global leadership in reimagining public service delivery.
