No, Jordan's Social Security department requires an exit stamp as proof of leaving the country, and then social security is refunded at the end of that tax year/beginning of the following tax year. I finally received my payment a month ago.

Ohhh, I see. :D Well, from what I've gathered over the past couple of days, this was SOP at the IS I was at (reputable when I joined them, and only slightly less so when I left). They were having enrolment issues when I left (intake was down on the previous year), so I imagine even if they wanted to reimbursement staff out of their own pocket, they would've been pushing their operating budget to do it. Based on money owed me x number of staff left, it would've been around £60k they'd be paying out. :o

Anyways, that's besides the point. :) Thanks for clearing that up, PsyGuy. :)

@PsyGuy

That's sad to hear. Hope it wasn't too much you lost out on. :(

@Jse217

From what I gather, it was literally impossible to be reimbursed before leaving the country - I, and every other leaving IT, was told that we had to send proof of leaving Jordan to the school, so the government could release the social security funds. Perhaps it's different when you leave near the end of the tax year, but leaving in July we didn't have the choice. :(

I am very confused now. :o

That's not cheering me up. :(

May I ask when you got your payment through?

Hi! Just registered, and was wondering if I could pick people's brains. :)

My most recent position was in Jordan - I spent 3 years at an IS. Finished this year and moved back to my home country (UK, in case it matters).

I was curious if anyone knows how the Jordanian Social Security reimbursement works. I gave my details to my school - who I assume passed them on to the appropriate government department - and they told me that my payment should come end of December/beginning of January. Which is a bit vague for so much money that I need asap. Anyone know any specifics? Do they process repayments based on when they were given the details? Alphabetically? When do they start the payment process? When should I worry (though, as you can tell, I'm worrying already!)?

Thanks very much for any info. :)
