Title: Iran’s Social Security Organization Implements Phased Payment Plan for Pensioners
In a significant move to manage pension adjustments, Iran’s Social Security Organization has initiated a structured, three-phase payment schedule to disburse outstanding pension arrears for the current year.
Addressing Pension Adjustments
The organization has commenced the process of paying the arrears related to the annual pension adjustment and increase for retirees and pensioners. This phased rollout is designed to systematically address the financial entitlements of approximately five million individuals under its coverage.
Detailed Payment Schedule Unveiled
The implementation of the plan is already underway. The first phase, which began recently, has successfully covered all disabled pensioners and those retirees whose total monthly income is up to 20 million tomans. The arrears for these groups, which pertain to the month of Farvardin (March-April), have now been deposited into their accounts.
The subsequent phases will comprehensively cover all remaining beneficiaries. According to the official schedule released by the Social Security Organization:
- Phase Two: Arrears for all survivor pensioners will be paid concurrently with their regular pension for the month of Shahrivar (late September).
- Phase Three: Following the disbursement of the Shahrivar pension, the remaining retirees will receive their outstanding adjustments.
This clear and timely schedule ensures that all pensioner groups can expect the settlement of their arrears by the end of the current Iranian month of Shahrivar, providing certainty and financial planning clarity.
A Managed Approach to Entitlements
This structured approach underscores the ongoing commitment to fulfilling pension obligations in an organized and efficient manner, ensuring all eligible recipients receive their duly adjusted benefits according to a transparent and published timeline.
