The Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT), has extended the deadline for Members of
the Scheme to merge their SSNIT and NIA numbers (Personal ID Numbers on their Ghana Cards) from
31st December, 2021 to 30th June, 2022.
Members who are yet to register for their Ghana Cards are entreated to do so in order to merge their
SSNIT and NIA numbers before 30th June, 2022.
From 1st July, 2022, the Ghana Card will be the only identification recognized by the Trust. This is in
compliance with Regulation 7 (1) of the National Identity Register Regulations, 2012, L.I. 2111 which
requires the use of the Ghana Card as identification for “transactions pertaining to individuals in
respect of pensions” and “transactions that have social security implications”.
Employers are to note that they will be required to use only the NIA numbers of their workers to
process Contribution Reports and make payments.
Voluntary contributors will also have to pay their
contributions using their NIA numbers.
The Trust reminds the public that Members who fail to merge their SSNIT and NIA numbers will be
denying themselves access to pensions and other social security related services from SSNIT.
There will be no further extension beyond the 30th June, 2022 deadline.
SSNIT Management urges all Members of the Scheme to ensure that their numbers are merged to enjoy the
convenience and comfort of using only one card, the Ghana Card, for all transactions with the Trust.
