How to get your Kuwait pension statement

بيان الاشتراكات (PIFSS)

Known in English as the Social security contribution statement. Look for this name on the site — it may not be translated.

• Whether you are a Kuwaiti or GCC national, or an expatriate — PIFSS covers nationals and GCC nationals working in Kuwait; expatriates receive an end-of-service indemnity from the employer.
• Your civil ID number.
• For expatriates: contract, salary history and service dates.

1. 1
   Establish whether PIFSS covered you

   PIFSS administers Kuwait's social insurance for nationals and GCC nationals. If you were an expatriate employee, there is no PIFSS record to find.
2. 2
   Nationals: use PIFSS e-services

   Kuwait's government portal exposes PIFSS services, including a retirement date calculator.

3. 3
   Nationals: check your contributory service

   Employers must register employees within days of starting. Applications for a pension are made to PIFSS during service or shortly after the retirement date, so timing matters.
4. 4
   Expatriates: assemble the indemnity evidence

   The Kuwaiti labour law sets the end-of-service indemnity formula, which varies with length of service and whether you resigned or were terminated.

   Keep the documents

   Save the statement or the settlement with your contract.

You were an expatriate employee, so the pension authority has no record of you

That is the expected answer, not a lost record. Your entitlement is the end-of-service gratuity your employer owes, calculated from your basic salary and length of service under the labour law. Your employment contract and final settlement are the documents, and PensionChart's free Gulf gratuity calculator will show you what the statutory formula produces.

You are a GCC national who worked in Kuwait

Under the GCC extension of insurance protection your Kuwaiti service is recorded toward your home country's scheme. Contact your home authority, which holds the coordinated record.

You cannot reach PIFSS from abroad

PIFSS handles cases in person in Kuwait; an authorised representative with a power of attorney is the usual route for someone who has left.
