New measures to shorten pension processing and Chifa card issuance by 2029

The Ministry of Labor, Employment and Social Security has unveiled plans to improve administrative efficiency for citizens. The strategy aims to cut the processing time for pension files from one month to 15 days by 2029, supported by the digital transformation and simplification efforts of the National Retirement Fund. Additionally, the time required to issue Chifa cards is expected to decrease from 15 to 11 days over the same period. Regarding support for retirees, the home assistance service has conducted 32,000 visits this year, with an expected increase to 35,000 visits by 2029 to better assist elderly and vulnerable individuals. Furthermore, the ministry has allocated 26 million Algerian dinars to support trade union organizations.
