Frequently Asked Questions
Can an individual re-submit a request to purchase the legal service period through the MA’ASHI platform if he/she previously cancelled a purchase service request?
Yes. An insured individual can submit another purchase service period request through the MA'ASHI platform. However, please note that the cost to purchase a service period will be considered and be calculated based on an insured's contribution salary at the time at which the new application is submitted.
What happens if an insured individual passes away and the total cost to purchase a service period has not yet been paid to GPSSA?
If an insured individual passes away and the total cost to purchase a service period was not been settled with GPSSA, the pending amount due will be deducted from the insured's beneficiary(ies)
Can the insured request the cancellation of pending payments to request the purchase of the legal period of service?
Yes, the insured can request the cancellation of a purchase order for a service to be paid to the Authority through the" Pension "platform."
Please note:
- The insured person will be required to include the reason for cancellation on the platform.

If the payment of a service period is to be paid by both an individual and an employer, what amount does each party have to pay?
If the cost to purchase a service period is to be shared by an individual and his/her employer, the amount due should be agreed between both parties. However, by default the digital platform will display the amount to be paid by each party as 50% of the total cost to purchase a service period. The value due by each party can be edited and will be subject to employer approval.
If an individual and an employer agree to share the cost associated with purchasing a service period, does the total cost due have to be paid in one lump sum by each party?
If the cost of purchasing the nominal service period is supposed to be shared between the insured and the employer, the amount due must be agreed upon between the two parties. However, the MA'ASHI platform will automatically display the amount that each party has to pay as 50% of the total cost of purchasing the service period. The amount due can be modified by each party and will be subject to approval by the employer.
