Title: Landmark Economic Council Ruling Paves Way for Fulfillment of Social Security Commitments
In a significant move to address financial obligations, the Supreme Council for Economic Coordination of the Heads of the Branches of Power has approved a major allocation to the Social Security Organization. The approved plan, valued at 185 quadrillion tomans, is structured to ensure the organization meets its commitments to pensioners and healthcare providers.
A Structured Financial Package
The comprehensive financial package, ratified in the council’s recent session, comprises two key components. The first is 70 quadrillion tomans in Islamic financial bonds, while the second involves 115 quadrillion tomans in shares and assets. This strategic decision underscores the coordinated efforts of the nation’s leadership to bolster the financial health of the Social Security Organization, a key pillar of the country’s social welfare system.
Clearing Healthcare Debts and Commencing Pension Adjustments
Following the official notification and allocation of credit, the process of issuing the 70 quadrillion tomans in approved bonds will commence. The subsequent conversion of these bonds into liquid assets will enable the Social Security Organization to settle its outstanding debts to both university-affiliated and non-university medical centers, as well as cover supplementary medical insurance payments.
Concurrently, and as a follow-up to the organization’s earlier announcement, the process of paying the long-awaited pension adjustments and annual salary increases—retroactive to the beginning of the current Iranian year—will begin. Starting Monday, October 13th, the remaining eligible retirees and pensioners will receive these payments gradually and continuously through agent banks.
Phased Payment Rollout
It is worth noting that the payment process has been implemented in phases to ensure orderly execution. The first phase, carried out on September 2nd, covered all retirees with a total income of up to 20 million tomans, as well as all disabled pensioners. The second phase was completed simultaneously with the September pension payments for all survivor beneficiaries.
