This research was conducted between October 2012,and August  2013using descriptive and survey techniques and gathered data through documentary research, conducting interviews and using questionnaires. 
       191random samples were selected from the research’s target population which included 8,123insured persons who started paying their premiums in Qom’s First Branch of the Social Security Organization and at November  2012 even though they had achieved the retirement age -which is 60 years for men and  55years for women- they had not achieved the minimum contribution period of 20 years and therefore could not yet retire.
