Retired Military Officers Urged to Sign Up for Health Coverage

PHNOM PENH, August 26, 2026 – The National Social Security Fund (NSSF) has called on retired military personnel holding the ranks of general and admiral to register for social security benefits, following the expansion of the healthcare coverage scheme under a new government sub-decree.

Sub-Decree No. 175, dated August 11, 2026, extends free medical examinations and treatment at all NSSF-affiliated health facilities to retired officers of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces holding general and admiral ranks.

Eligible retirees must visit the NSSF headquarters or provincial branches with their valid national ID and a bank book. Those with name or date-of-birth discrepancies must first obtain a correction letter from the National Social Assistance Fund (NSAF), bringing a valid ID and one recent 4x6 civilian photo.

For assistance, contact the NSAF hotline at 092/015 219 888. Registration is effective immediately.
