The Director General of the National Social Security and Welfare Corporation (NASSCORP), Francis M. Carbah said the corporation is undertaking fundamental changes that would make the institution more efficient and effective.
Mr. Carbah said whenever it's time for anyone to receive benefits from NASSCORP for disability, death benefits, retirement, invalidity or survivors pension, the once tedious process is now easier, faster and more reliable.
The Director General also said that benefit levels have not kept pace with international standards; therefore it is imminent that policies have to be reviewed and revised, henceforth the fundamental changes are taking place at NASSCORP.
Director General Francis M. Carbah made the disclosure during NASSCORP's 'Technology Awareness workshop' held at the Monrovia City Hall recently.
Vivian Jones, a consultant at NASSCORP for technology reform said during the workshop that the institution would use commonly available technologies in its transaction.

The IT staff member said the newly introduced electronic management program is using Microsoft Technologies to reform the social security corporation to accelerate and improve the processing of claims at the corporation.
The NASSCORP consultant said the deficiencies that once occurred such as looking for papers, delay in processing them, improper and inadequate record keeping or difficulties in accessing records would now be no more as the corporation reforms through technology.
She urged institutions doing business in the country to use Microsoft Excel for payroll so that they can lattice with the corporation into its new 'Technology Age'.
