Title: Government Announces Phased Disbursement of Subsidy Payments to Support Citizens
In a move underscoring its commitment to social welfare, the Iranian government has detailed the scheduled disbursement of subsidy payments for the month of Shahrivar 1404 (September 2024). The payments, which are part of the nation’s comprehensive social support system, will be distributed in three distinct phases to ensure efficient delivery and economic relief for eligible households.
Increased Stipends for Welfare Recipients
The first phase of payments, earmarked for beneficiaries of the Imam Khomeini Relief Foundation and the State Welfare Organization, is set for Thursday, 20th Shahrivar. This month’s stipend reflects a significant 40% increase, with amounts structured to support families of various sizes:
- Single-person households: 1,400,000 Tomans
- Two-person households: 1,988,000 Tomans
- Three-person households: 2,800,000 Tomans
- Four-person households: 3,577,000 Tomans
- Households with five or more persons: 4,410,000 Tomans
This regular monthly payment is a cornerstone of the government’s ongoing support for its most vulnerable citizens.
Targeted Cash Subsidies for Lower-Income Deciles
The second wave of support will occur on Tuesday, 25th Shahrivar, with cash subsidies directed at the first to third income deciles. Each eligible individual will receive 400,000 Tomans, with the total household payment scaling accordingly:
- Two-person household: 800,000 Tomans
- Three-person household: 1,200,000 Tomans
- Four-person household: 1,600,000 Tomans
- Five-person household: 2,000,000 Tomans
These funds will be available for withdrawal from midnight on the day of disbursement.
Broad Subsidy Support for Middle Deciles
Completing the monthly schedule, cash subsidies for the fourth to ninth income deciles will be paid on Monday, 31st Shahrivar. Each person in these households is allocated 300,000 Tomans, resulting in the following household totals:
- Two-person household: 600,000 Tomans
- Three-person household: 900,000 Tomans
- Four-person household: 1,200,000 Tomans
- Five-person household: 1,500,000 Tomans
This structured, three-phase approach is designed to provide consistent economic support, alleviate financial pressures, and allow for better household budget management. The initiative highlights the government’s strategic focus on ensuring the stability and well-being of all its citizens through meticulously planned social programs.
