Thanks. upfront payment or payment in advance mean دفع مسبق, but this does not mean (pay-as-you-go) is not دفع مسبق. I still prefer دفع مسبق. Actually, this is the same as "prepaid".

Pay As You Go

Payments for a good or service as it is used rather than as an outright purchase. For example, college tuition is on a pay-as-you-go basis to obtain the courses necessary for completing college degree requirements.

ٌRef:Dictionary of Business Terms, 3rd edition, by Jack P. Friedman, published by Barron's Educational Series, Inc.

pay as you go

Pay for purchases immediately instead of deferring payment. For example, Ruth and Bob had no credit cards; they believed in paying as you go. [First half of 1800s]

This is the most precise translation since pay as you go is described as:

Payments for a good or service as it is used rather than as an outright purchase. For example, college tuition is on a pay-as-you-go basis to obtain the courses necessary for completing college degree requirements.

الدفع عند الاحتياج

Hi,
I have two pay-as-you-go contracts. They do not require me to pay for anything unless I need to use it there and then. If you wanna use an hour, you pay for an hour, you wanna leave your account blank, you can.. no obligations. I belive they mean the same.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

I should add however that if the text is criticizing the social security system it might mean:
برنامج لايلتجئون له الا في وقت الشدة
Because indeed I never pay for my contracts unless I am really at the end of my tether...
