Social Insurance In Egypt

Social insurance in Egypt is a legally mandated framework regulating contributions, coverage, and employment benefits.

The social insurance system is established under Egyptian Social Insurance Law No. 148 of 2019 and is administered by the National Organization for Social Insurance (NOSI), which is the competent authority responsible for enforcing compliance across all covered categories. The system imposes mandatory obligations on employers, employees, and other insured categories to contribute to the national social insurance scheme based on prescribed insurable wage thresholds, which are periodically updated by ministerial decree.

The framework is designed to provide comprehensive social protection, including retirement pensions, disability benefits, survivorship pensions, and workplace injury compensation. It also operates as a core component of Egypt’s employment and social protection system, requiring strict compliance with registration, reporting, and monthly contribution
