The answer

It is permissible for an employee to participate in the governmental retirement or insurance system if it is mandatory, and the additional amount paid by the state is considered a form of welfare from it. However, voluntary participation is not permissible because it involves gambling (maysir) and uncertainty (gharar), and placing funds in usurious banks.
