Sharjah 24 – WAM: The General Pension and Social Security Authority (GPSSA) announced that 16,368 Emiratis working in the government and private sectors have benefited from its “Shourak” service since its launch in July 2023. The initiative is one of the authority’s key transformation projects aimed at enhancing financial stability and supporting a sustainable retirement system for UAE nationals.

Supporting continuous pension coverage and labour Market flexibility

Aligned with the “We the UAE 2031” vision, the service allows insured Emiratis to maintain a continuous insurance record when changing jobs, ensuring the preservation of pension rights and greater workforce flexibility. It enables seamless transfer of service periods without additional financial burdens, while simplifying procedures and eliminating previous cost differences and fees.

Conditions, digital access, and long-term retirement security

To benefit from the service, individuals must meet specific conditions, including completing at least one year of service and applying via the Ma’ashi digital platform within three months of joining a new employer. The GPSSA stressed that compliance ensures uninterrupted coverage, with Shourak serving as a key pillar in strengthening long-term financial sustainability and retirement security for Emiratis.
