Landmark Pension Increase for Social Security Retirees Officially Enacted
In a significant move, the Iranian government has formally enacted a substantial increase to pension benefits for a wide range of retirees.
The approval follows a recent decision made by the Council of Ministers. The enactment was officially communicated by the First Vice President on September 7, 2025, under reference number 94059.
What the Enactment Covers
This pivotal resolution mandates an increase for all pension types administered by the Social Security Organization. This includes benefits for retirees, those receiving disability pensions, and the total pensions provided to survivors of beneficiaries. The increase applies to all pensions that were officially established by the end of the Iranian calendar year 1403 (March 2024).
This measure is seen as a key step in supporting the livelihoods of pensioners and ensuring the continued strength of the nation’s social welfare system.
