Khaberni - The expert in insurance and social protection, the lawyer Musa Al-Subeihi answered the question (Is it permissible to withhold a social security pension?).
Here is the text of the answer:
It is known that the retirement pension is for the living purposes of the retiree and his family, and therefore the social security law protects the owner of the retirement pension or the owner of the disability pension from seizure except for only two reasons and at a specific percentage of it.
The two reasons that justify withholding a part of the pension are:
1) Alimony debt.
2) Debt to the Social Security Institution.
Priority is given in withholding to alimony debt as it pertains to living expenses. For example, if the pension holder has both an alimony debt and a debt to the Social Security Institution, and the total of the debts exceeds the designated withholding rate, priority is given to the alimony debt, and the institution's debt is deferred. The law has determined a withholding rate on the pension of no more than 25% of it only.
