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.

Pension, retirement cycle and insurance benefits on the Jahiz platform aim to explain the insurance system
Abu Dhabi: Understanding pension laws requires grasping insurance terminology, particularly regarding contribution payments and insurance benefits. This knowledge is essential for both employers and employees to navigate the system, whether it involves retirement pension or end-of-service gratuity. For that reason, the General Pension and Social Security Authority (GPSSA) in collaboration with the Jahiz platform have launched a pension and insurance benefits virtual masterclass, which can be accessed on the customized digital platform Jahiz, marking the second phase of the "Wafra" program, which is a transformational project for the second cycle announced in July 2023 aimed at achieving the UAE's "We the UAE 2031" vision to establish a prosperous Emirati society. The Jahiz platform represents the future of government talent, the largest and most comprehensive national initiatives for future skills in the United Arab Emirates. Launched in late 2022, it is one of the pivotal transformational initiatives for the Federal Authority for Government Human Resources (FAHR). The project focuses on raising the financial literacy of insured individuals and eligible beneficiaries, providing them with the principles of proactive financial planning, while promoting a culture of early savings and investment. The topics in the program include defining terms such as contribution account salary, average contribution account salary and pension account salary. Also explained in the modules are monthly contribution rates due from both insured Emiratis and their employers, registration and contribution rules, as well as the provisions behind merging employment years as per federal pension laws. Users will gain information on eligibility criteria's regarding pension and end-of-service gratuity in terms of age and years of service, with details on the calculation mechanisms for both. The course provides comparisons amongst pension funds in the UAE, the merge conditions and compliance with the provisions for each, as well as GPSSA's role in managing the files of pensioners and non-civilian entities as per the pension laws by which they are subject to and the Authority's responsibility in managing citizens subject to the provisions of the Insurance Protection Extension System. In addition, the "Ma'ashi" digital platform has been introduced as GPSSA's main service platform, providing information, data and awareness for users to reach their goals.
