Government Pension Fund Accelerates Payments and Expands Support
Tehran – In a significant move to address retirees’ financial needs, the Iranian Government Pension Fund has disbursed four months of overdue payments in just one month. Hojat Mirzaei, CEO of the fund, confirmed the expedited payments and outlined additional financial support measures for retirees and their families.
Marriage Loans for Retirees’ Children
Mirzaei announced that the first phase of a 60-million-toman marriage loan for retirees’ children will be distributed by the end of the current month. Eligible applicants who have completed registration and document submission will receive the loan in two prioritized phases.
Emergency Loans and Pending Adjustments
Additionally, a third round of 50-million-toman emergency loans will soon be deposited for approximately 30,000 qualifying retirees. This marks the second such payment within the month of Mordad (July-August).
Mirzaei also addressed pending adjustments for self-employed retirees, confirming that related decrees have been issued. Their outstanding dues will be settled by the end of Shahrivar (September).
Retired Teachers’ Claims Settled
The Pension Fund CEO further disclosed that the second installment of 2021 retired teachers’ claims will be paid alongside their current month’s salaries, fully resolving their outstanding dues.
Ongoing Adjustments and Coordination
Mirzaei highlighted that the fifth installment of the 2023 adjustment plan—out of ten scheduled payments—will be deposited for eligible retirees with their upcoming Mordad salaries.
Expressing gratitude for the close coordination with the Plan and Budget Organization and the implementing bank, Mirzaei emphasized the Pension Fund’s commitment to resolving retirees’ financial concerns through intensive inter-organizational collaboration.
This accelerated payment initiative underscores the government’s dedication to supporting retirees and ensuring timely financial assistance.
