Title: Landmark Disbursements Enhance Pensioner Benefits Across Key Sectors
In a significant move underscoring the government’s commitment to social welfare, retirees from several major national funds have begun receiving their monthly pensions alongside enhanced supplementary benefits. The timely disbursements, which include new allowances and the settlement of arrears, highlight the ongoing efforts to improve the financial security of pensioners.
Enhanced Benefits for Oil Industry Retirees
This month’s payment cycle for retirees of the Oil Industry Retirement Fund, which commenced on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, has been distinguished by the inclusion of several additional benefits. Beyond the base pension, retirees have received increased athletic allowances for their children, essential goods subsidies for both children and spouses, and the clearance of outstanding payments related to these benefits.
In a parallel development, the fund has initiated the refund of over-deducted taxes for retirees from nine subsidiaries of the National Iranian Oil Company. These reimbursements, funded by the employers, are calculated based on individual employment records and are visible on pension slips using code 1257.
Furthermore, retirees who had paid their medical co-payments out-of-pocket since the start of the year have been reimbursed for 5% of these costs, identifiable under code 1201 on their current pension slips. Payments for oil industry pensioners typically occur between the 11th and 14th of each month.
Streamlined Schedule for Social Security Retirees
Pensioners under the Social Security Organization are scheduled to receive their payments on November 18, 19, and 20. This schedule, which replaced the older alphabetical system at the beginning of the current Iranian year, is designed to create greater harmony with the banking network and facilitate smoother transactions. While some pensioners have expressed concerns about payments shifting towards the month’s end, financial advisors recommend proactive planning to manage household expenses and installments effectively.
Consistent Payments for Civil and Military Pensioners
Payments for civil service retirees will follow the established routine, starting on November 19 and expected to be completed by November 20. The Civil Servants Pension Fund has reported that payments in recent months have been consistently on-time and regular, with no changes to the November timetable.
Similarly, retirees of the armed forces will receive their pensions on November 20, in line with the standard schedule. While the bulk of payments will be processed on this date, the completion of some transactions may extend to December 1.
This coordinated and enhanced payment cycle reflects the systematic approach to fulfilling obligations to the nation’s retirees, ensuring their financial well-being is maintained.
