The 2024 annual report from the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) Inspection and Internal Control Department highlights a significant rise in inspection missions, with 5,888 conducted in 2024 compared to 4,742 in 2023.
A total of 25,240 employees were audited, and 185 lost undue health benefits and family allowances. This means approximately 6% of NSSF-registered employees underwent verification.
The inspections also uncovered 1,330 undeclared Lebanese workers and 888 undeclared foreign workers, who were subsequently registered with the NSSF. Additionally, 119 unregistered companies were added to the NSSF records.
In light of these findings, NSSF Director General Mohammad Karaki instructed the inspection and control department to continue its periodic sectorial inspections, particularly in the bakery sector following the cancellation of the regulatory agreement. This initiative is part of the NSSF’s ongoing efforts, including the general census and inspection of unregistered establishments, to enhance the fund’s financial resources.
