Here Are the Simple Steps to Follows to Merge Your SSNIT ID with Your Ghana Card Before December 31, 2021

The “Social Security and National Insurance Trust” (SSNIT) has indicated that the adopting of the Ghana Card for all social security related transactions will bring convenience and comfort for all Members of the SSNIT Scheme.

Speaking on Ekosiisen on Asempa FM on Tuesday, December 14, 2021, the Acting Public Affairs Manager of SSNIT, Mr. Charles Akwei Garshong outlined the importance of the Ghana Card, saying, Members do not have to carry two cards along with them when the Ghana Card can be used for multiple related services.

He further indicated that “The use of the Ghana Card will also enable nominated dependents of deceased Members to be easily identified as it will avoid unnecessary delays, reduce fraud and impersonation in processing and paying Survivors’ Benefits”.

He explained that workers who fail to merge their numbers before December 31, 2021, will not be able to access social security-related services with SSNIT as employers will from 2022 be required to use only the NIA numbers of their workers to process Contribution Reports and make payments.
This means that from January 1, next year, SSNIT contributors will no longer use their scheme numbers but will transact all business with SSNIT with their Ghana Card.
