KUWAIT CITY, June 7: The Public Institution for Social Security (PIFSS) issued Decision No. 3/2026 on Sunday in the official gazette “Kuwait Al-Youm,” concerning the cases, rules, and conditions for refunding certain amounts to individuals whose citizenship has been revoked and who no longer meet the eligibility requirements for a retirement pension, reports Al-Seyassah daily.
The decision stipulates the refund of contributions paid for the insured person’s or beneficiary’s share in the Basic Insurance Fund, the Supplementary Insurance Fund, the Pension Increase Fund, and the Financial Reward Fund, in addition to amounts paid for additional service periods. It requires that the refunds be made in a single payment upon application submitted according to the form approved by the Public Institution for Social Security, after deducting any outstanding debts owed to PIFSS.
The decision does not include the refund of contributions paid by employers for their shares in the insurance funds of insured persons or beneficiaries whose citizenship has been revoked. The new provisions will come into effect one month after their publication in the official gazette. PIFSS is responsible for taking the necessary measures to implement the decision.
