Title: Social Security Pension Arrears Disbursement Nears Completion, Final Payments Underway
TEHRAN – The Social Security Organization is in the final stages of disbursing pension arrears to its retirees, with payments for the final alphabetical groups being processed this week, according to an official schedule.
Final Phase of Payments in Progress
The ongoing process to settle pension arrears from the Iranian month of Farvardin (March-April 2025) has entered its conclusive stage. This week, retirees with surnames starting with specific letters, including the final Persian alphabet characters, are receiving their outstanding payments. The organization has confirmed that the disbursement for all remaining beneficiaries is on track to be fully completed by the end of the current week.
This systematic payment of arrears is related to the pension increase that was enacted in Farvardin 1404. The delayed disbursement is a procedural measure to ensure accurate calculation and implementation of the new pension adjustments.
Payment Amounts and Beneficiaries
The amount received by individual retirees varies, with informed sources indicating a range based on factors such as insurance history, pension type (retirement, disability, or survivor), and the specific pay grade. The arrears are part of a broader financial adjustment benefiting approximately five million Social Security pensioners across the nation.
A significant portion of eligible retirees had already received parts of their entitlements in earlier stages during the months of Shahrivar and Mehr (August-October).
Structured and Systematic Disbursement
The payment of arrears has been meticulously organized in a phased, alphabetical schedule to ensure an orderly and efficient process. All funds are being deposited directly into the bank accounts registered with the pension payment system, eliminating the need for retirees to visit organization branches in person.
Commitment to Pensioner Welfare
The Social Security Organization has reiterated its commitment to fulfilling its obligations, working in coordination with the Bank Refah and other partner banks to facilitate these transfers. This initiative underscores the organization’s ongoing efforts to ensure that retirees receive their lawful financial entitlements in a timely and structured manner. The completion of these payments will mark the full settlement of the Farvardin pension adjustments.
