How To Check Your SSNIT Contributions & Statement Online in Ghana
It is the dream of every worker to be able to carry up that special vacation or take up a special project when they finally cross their retirement age.
In Ghana, the sure way to live such dreams is for one to have a regular SSNIT contribution for at least 15 years (180 months).
It is however unfortunate that some times, if not most times, SSNIT contributions for some workers do not seem to be well recorded in the systems and sadly enough, they only get to know when their time is due for retirement.
So, in this article, we shall take you through a convenient way of checking your SSNIT contributions online using your PC or your phone to be sure of your contributions and check for any discrepancies.

Check your contributions and benefit
Once you log in, you can choose the services that you want. You can see all your contributions from the very first year you entered the service down to the present year.
The number of months you’ve contributed for each year and your total contributions so far will be indicated. You also get to see the benefits you are qualified for.
Conclusion

Sothey are usually less by one month. This shouldn’t be a problem to you. However, if your contributions are less by two or more months, then you you should be worried.
Youcan then call The SSNIT office or check into any branch near you to complain. Also remember to keep your password and security questions intact so you could always access your account.
