GPSSA distributes 4,872 Esaad cards to pensioners in the Emirate of Dubai

Abu Dhabi, 21st September 2022:   As per directives of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council, to provide the Esaad card to pensioners residing in Dubai, the General Pension and Social Security Authority (GPSSA) in coordination with the Dubai Police General Command, has received 4,872 discount cards which will be distributed to eligible pensioners who are registered with the GPSSA right to their homes. GPSSA has coordinated with a distribution company to ensure prompt delivery of the cards. 


The move aims to offer pensioners beneficial discount opportunities, while improving their quality of life and well-being.


The number of cards delivered to the GPSSA by the Dubai Police General Command totaled 23,034 cards. These will all be distributed to senior citizens, pensioners, people of determination and low-income earners in Dubai, as part of efforts exerted by the Higher Committee for Development and Citizens Affairs, which was established as per directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Ruler of Dubai, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, last May 2022 in the presence of the Dubai Council, with the aim of providing a better life for citizens, residents and visitors, in order to ensure long-term stability for the entire population. 


The cooperation between the Dubai Police General Command, the Community Development Authority in Dubai, the Pension and Social Security Fund for local military personnel in Dubai, the Abu Dhabi Pension Fund, the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs-Dubai and the GPSSA in coordinating the implementation of these directives embodies an inspiring model for government-based cooperation and participation in providing services that support the community and its members.

Frequently Asked Questions
View All FAQs

What periods may the Insured merge?

• Previous service periods with any employer subject to the provisions of the Federal Decree-Law

•Previous service period prior to acquiring the UAE nationality

•Previous service periods in any entity determined by the Cabinet

What are the conditions for an insured’s registration with the GPSSA?

• The individual must be a United Arab Emirates national

• The individual must be between the ages of 18 to 60

• The individual must be medically fit to work upon appointment, as evidenced by an approved medical report

• He/she must work for an employer subject to the provisions of the law applied by the GPSSA

If a pensioner from the GPSSA returns to work, and their pension disbursement was suspended because their salary was greater than the pension amount, and they contribute again under the provisions of the law, how will their service be settled in the future if they leave work?

· If they become entitled to a pension for their subsequent service period, they shall be disbursed the larger of the two pensions, whether it's the one they are entitled to for their previous service period or for their subsequent service period

· If they become entitled to a gratuity for their subsequent service period, the gratuity shall be disbursed to them, and the suspended pension shall be reinstated for disbursement

If an employer paid excess amounts to the GPSSA, is there a specific period within which they have the right to claim them back?

Yes, the employer may reclaim any amounts they paid to the GPSSA that exceed the required contributions, but under condition that they claim them within two years from the date of payment.

Is there a mechanism that the Insured, Pensioner, Beneficiary, or any interested party must follow to claim their rights and have reconsidered before resorting to litigation?

Before a rights holder can go to court, they must first appeal the pension or gratuity decision to the Insurance Appeals Committee formed by the Board of Directors, and this must be done within five years of becoming entitled to the pension or end-of-service payment. This means the committee must be petitioned before taking legal action against the employer, and the appeal has a five-year deadline.
