Title: Landmark Economic Decision Paves Way for Social Security Pension Payments
Tehran – In a significant move to bolster the national social security system, a high-level economic coordination council has approved a major financial package to address the obligations of the Social Security Organization.
High-Level Approval for Financial Settlement
During a recent session of the Supreme Council for Economic Coordination of the Heads of Branches of Government, a resolution was passed to settle government commitments to the Social Security Organization. The approved package, valued at 185 thousand billion tomans, will be executed through a combination of 70 thousand billion tomans in Islamic financial bonds and 115 thousand billion tomans in shares and assets.
This strategic decision underscores the coordinated efforts of the nation’s leadership to ensure the financial health and operational stability of one of the country’s key social institutions.
Funding for Healthcare and Pension Adjustments
Following the formal notification of this resolution and the allocation of credit, the process of issuing the approved financial bonds and converting them into liquid assets will commence. Officials note that this is a multi-stage process. Once completed, the liquidity will be used to pay the outstanding claims of both university-affiliated and non-university medical centers, as well as for supplementary medical insurance.
Concurrently, the Social Security Organization has announced the commencement of long-awaited pension payments. In line with its earlier announcement, the process for paying the adjusted pension arrears and the annual salary increase related to the month of Farvardin for the remaining eligible retirees and pensioners will begin gradually and continuously starting Monday, Mehr 21st, through agent banks.
