Title: Retirees Rejoice: Key Updates on Pension Payments and Welfare Bank Developments
Long-Awaited Pension Adjustments Finally Arrive
After months of anticipation, the Social Security Organization has released the detailed schedule for retroactive pension payments. This adjustment, a result of persistent follow-ups, will soon be deposited into retirees’ accounts.
In this comprehensive report, we break down the payment schedule, clarify all uncertainties regarding the process, and provide the exact August 2024 payment dates—ensuring retirees can plan their finances with confidence.
Revised Payment Schedule for August 2024
Starting in 2024, Social Security pension payments have been consolidated into the last three days of each month to streamline high-volume transactions and improve banking coordination. Accordingly:
- Social Security retirees will receive payments on August 20, 21, and 22 (29th, 30th, and 31st of Mordad 1404).
- State retirees will be paid on August 21 (30th Mordad).
- Military retirees will receive funds on August 22 (31st Mordad).
This marks a shift from the previous alphabetical rollout system, ensuring faster disbursements.
Retiree Advocates Meet with Officials
On the 50th anniversary of the Social Security Organization, key retiree representatives—including Abdolhamid Abaei Hassani (Head of Khuzestan Retirees Association) and Kazem Bani Saeed (Head of Mahshahr Retirees Association)—met with Dr. Hayat Moghadam, a parliamentary representative, to address pressing concerns.
Key Demands Presented:
- Preservation of Welfare Bank: Retirees urged the reintegration of the Welfare Bank into the Social Security Organization to safeguard financial stability.
- Delayed Supplementary Insurance Payments: Four months of unpaid premiums to Atieh Sazan Hafez Insurance have disrupted medical reimbursements—calls for immediate resolution.
- Outstanding Pension Adjustments: Five months of overdue payments from last year remain unresolved, prompting appeals for intervention.
- Implementation of Article 54: Retirees demand enforcement of the law mandating fully free healthcare, passed over 30 years ago but still unfulfilled.
Looking Ahead
With these developments, retirees can expect timely payments while advocacy efforts continue to secure long-term financial and healthcare benefits. Stay informed for further updates on pension reforms and welfare enhancements.
