Terms of Aggregating Contribution Periods

1.    The contributor must submit his application within two years from the appointed date of his new employment.
2.    The contributor must not have received a lump sum compensation or pension for that period.
3.    Period required to be aggregated must not be less than one year.
4.    The age of the contributor must not exceed the age of 59 when requesting aggregation.
5.    The pension granted from the first scheme must not be entitled due to a disability.
6.    Aggregated contribution periods must not be supplementary periods entitling to a pension prior to the age of 60 in the last scheme. The contributor must complete the period required by such a scheme. This restriction is not applicable when termination of service is of disability, death or dismissal reasons. 
Procedures for Applying for Aggregation and Required Documents
The contributor submits his application for aggregation to the competent institution in charge of implementing the first scheme using the adopted form (Aggregation-1), according to the following:

 
a.    The contributor should submit his application to GOSI if the contribution period needed to be aggregated is under the Social Insurance Scheme. The application should enclose the following:
1.    A copy of the national identification card,
2.    A copy of the appointment decision in the employment covered under the Civil or Military Retirement Scheme,
3.    A statement proving that he is still in employment.
As for those who left the service, such a fact should be indicated in the aggregation form.

b.    The contributor should submit his application to the Public Pension Agency (PPA) if the contribution period needed to be aggregated is under the Civil or Military Retirement Scheme. The application should enclose the following:
1.    A copy of the national identification card,
2.    A copy of the statement identifying the period needed to be aggregated or a copy of the dismissal decision from civil or military service.

Application may be submitted as follows:
-    The contributor may submit his application to the competent institution in charge of implementing the first scheme or its field offices/branches,
-    The contributor may submit his application through his own employment.
-    The contributor may submit his application by registered mail to the competent institution.
In all cases, the application must be submitted to the competent institution in charge of implementing the first scheme prior to the expiration of the time-limit for aggregation.

Note:
-    The aggregated contribution periods between the Civil/Military Retirement Schemes and the Social Insurance Scheme shall not be considered as complementary to qualify the contributor for an early retirement pension before age of 60, unless his periods were aggregated as a result of privatization or his service was terminated as a result of death, disability or dismissal. The contributor must complete the service period required by the last scheme in order to be qualified for an early retirement pension.

-    The Law does not allow repaying of the amounts already been refunded for previous service under the Civil or Military Retirement Scheme to re-calculate such a service and aggregate it with the current service under the Social Insurance Scheme.

-    The time-limit for contributors who were in employment on 01/11/1424 H. and contributors who have left employment before that date had expired since 30/10/1426 H. Their application for aggregation is no longer accepted.
