Soft loans for retirees available as of today — SSC

AMMAN – The Social Security Corporation (SSC) on Sunday brought forward the date for retirees to apply for soft loans from August 1 to Monday.

Loan applications are open earlier than planned because all forms and procedures are ready, the SSC said in a statement e-mailed to The Jordan Times.

The SSC announced last week it would offer its pensioners soft loans worth JD20 million for personal or business expansion purposes.

Applicants are allowed up to 10 times their retirement pensions with a ceiling of JD10,000, provided that the monthly pensions do not exceed JD2,000, SSC Director General Nadia Rawabdeh said recently.
