SSNIT Adopts Ghana Card-ID Changeover From June 28 To December 3. A must read by all Contributors
From Monday, June 28, this year, all Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) contributors will replace their unique scheme identification numbers with the Ghana Card identification numbers.
The process of merging the two identification numbers will continue until December 31, this year.
RECOMMENDED
This means that from January 1, next year, SSNIT contributors will no longer use their scheme numbers but will transact all business with SSNIT with their Ghana Card.
The merger is expected to improve the ease of doing business, as it will create the convenience of using only one card for all transactions.
According to the Director General of SSNIT, Dr. John Ofori-Tenkorang, this transition ties in with the country’s quest to improve the ease of doing business with the Trust.
Again, it makes SSNIT fully compliant with the National Identity Register Regulations, 2012, L.I. 2111 which requires the use of the Ghana Card as a means of identification for transactions pertaining to individuals in respect of pensions.

There are presently 1.6 million active SSNIT contributors and will be integrated with the NIA platforms by the end of the year.
The Director-General called on all stakeholders to fully support the initiative by urging all their employees and members to ensure that they merge their numbers when the programme finally takes off.
