Title: Social Security Implements Child Benefit Adjustments, Addresses Beneficiary Concerns
In a move to streamline its pension system, Iran’s Social Security Organization has completed a comprehensive data update, leading to the recalculation of child benefits for certain beneficiaries. The organization has emphasized its commitment to operating within the established legal framework of the country’s social welfare laws.
System Modernization and Payment Processing
Following software reforms and data verification processes, child benefits for eligible surviving dependents have been recalculated. The adjustments were reflected in the pension slips for the month of Mehr, with corresponding payments for the previous month, Shahrivar, also being disbursed simultaneously. This administrative action is part of ongoing efforts to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of the social security system.
Channels for Inquiry and Official Communication
The Social Security Organization has established clear procedures for beneficiaries with inquiries. A dedicated platform via center ‘1420’ was made available for those who had objections regarding the suspension of their child benefits. After specialized reviews, the outcomes of these inquiries were communicated to the individuals via SMS.
The organization’s Public Relations Department has been designated as the sole official source for news and information. Beneficiaries are advised to follow updates through the official website, Tamin.ir, and its verified social media channels under the handle Tamin_Media. Furthermore, the 24/7 response system at 1420 remains available nationwide for any questions.
Addressing Beneficiary Petitions
In response to the updates, a group of surviving dependents has formally petitioned the Minister of Cooperatives, Labour, and Social Welfare and the Parliament. Their petition argues for the reinstatement of child benefits for a specific subset of beneficiaries, including unmarried daughters and disabled sons who hold independent files, stating that the recent adjustments have caused them financial hardship.
The petitioners have framed their request within the existing Social Security Law, citing specific articles that they believe guarantee these benefits. They contend that the distinction between independent and non-independent files is not stipulated in the law and have called for a review to ensure the system’s procedures align with the spirit of social justice and support for vulnerable groups.
Ongoing Review and Institutional Response
While the Social Security Organization has not issued an official public statement regarding this specific petition, internal sources indicate that the matter is under active review by the organization’s legal and technical units. The situation highlights the dynamic interplay between administrative policy implementation and beneficiary advocacy within Iran’s social welfare infrastructure. Past instances of similar public discourse have, following legal and media scrutiny, led to procedural refinements, demonstrating the system’s capacity for review and adjustment.
