Cabinet Approves Debt Installment Plan for 'Hafiz' Program Companies - Jordan News
The Council of Ministers, in a session held on Wednesday and chaired by Prime Minister Dr. Jaafar Hassan, approved new measures to support economic activities and ease their financial burdens. Among these was a decision to allow companies benefiting from the "Hafiz" program—a temporary employment support initiative in the digital and entrepreneurial sectors—to pay off their debts in installments. اضافة اعلان This includes retroactive differences in monthly social security contributions and late payment penalties from 2023, which can now be paid over a period of five years in 60 monthly installments, starting from the month following the signing of an installment agreement with the Social Security Corporation. The decision allows the continued implementation of the "Hafiz" program, under which the government has already covered JD 1.9 million in outstanding contributions owed to the Social Security Corporation on behalf of program employees. This aims to protect the financial entitlements of the Social Security Fund while ensuring the program's sustainability. The program's continuation paves the way for the employment of approximately 600 young men and women in the information technology sector, particularly in integrated government service centers and in private companies in need of IT support or technicians. These companies can hire staff for a period of 6 to 12 months, during which the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship will cover up to 50% of the new employee's monthly salary, whether in the public or private sector. The "Hafiz" program aligns with the goals of the Economic Modernization Vision, which seeks to digitize government services, enhance digital skills, improve the business environment, and foster conditions conducive to private sector growth.
