The National Social Security and Welfare Corporation (NASSCORP) was established for the welfare of employees in both the public and private economic sectors of Liberia.
One important function of the Corporation is the implementation of the Employment Injury Scheme (or EIS), which provides medical benefits for insured employees who sustain job-related injuries or contract occupational diseases.
A second vital function is the National Pension Scheme (or NPS), that provides pension benefits to insured employees.
Dependents of insured employees can benefit too in case of death of the principal insured.
A third major function of the Corporation is to administer the Welfare scheme which has not been launched due to the civil crisis and Government’s inability to mobilize funds for the scheme.
