The parliamentary commission for women and children revises two clauses of article 14 of the National Social Security Fund law pertaining to entitlements and medical aid || Newspapers (Arabic)

The parliamentary commission for women and children headed by M.P. Gilberte Zouien met on Monday 8 October and agreed to introduce revisions to two articles of the NSSF law.  The article now allows spouses of citizens registered in the NSSF to benefit from its provision provided that they are a) not employed; b) do not benefit from other forms of coverage from a compulsory public system; c) are not members in a professional order; and d) are not registered in commercial register.
In the case of polygamy, the registered spouse and his first legal wide will be the sole beneficiaries from the NSSF.
The Parliamentary commission hoped that the head of the NSSF, Dr. Mohammad Karaki, will follow up the issue of benefits for the second wife (in case of polygamous households) and will speed up the referral of the law petition regarding maternity leave to Parliament and ensure that it is included on its agenda after being discussed by the relevant commissions.
