Title: Iran’s Social Security Organization Outlines Timetable for Final Phase of Pension Adjustments
Introduction
The Social Security Organization of Iran has announced the schedule for the third and final phase of back-pay adjustments for pensioners. This phase, set for completion by mid-October 2025, aims to settle the remaining arrears for higher-income retirees and survivors, marking a significant step in finalizing the nationwide pension adjustment process.
Clearing the Backlog: The Final Phase
According to announcements from provincial officials, the organization is preparing to disburse the remaining dues. This final tranche primarily concerns pensioners and survivors whose monthly incomes exceed 20 million tomans, whose payments were delayed due to liquidity management considerations. The first two phases successfully cleared the arrears for retirees with pensions up to this threshold.
The payment represents the balance from a pension increase that was applied in April 2024. While the exact amounts vary, initial payments in earlier phases have ranged between 3 to 5 million tomans. Retirees are awaiting an official announcement for precise figures, particularly for those with higher pensions.
A New Payment Schedule for Enhanced Efficiency
In a parallel development aimed at streamlining operations, the Social Security Organization has implemented a new payment schedule for monthly pensions in 2025. Instead of payments being spread from the 25th of the month onward, pensions will now be deposited during the final three days of each month.
This change, as stated by the organization, is designed to better manage the high volume of transactions, coordinate with banking networks, and increase the speed and security of payments. For the month of October 2025, deposits will be made from the 28th to the 30th, based on the first letter of the pensioner’s surname.
Addressing Pensioner Concerns and Providing Clarity
The organization has moved to address concerns regarding the new payment schedule, emphasizing that this is a redistribution of payment dates within the month, not a delay. Officials have clarified that the change does not affect the pension amount or the calculation date.
To ensure transparency, pensioners can check the exact deposit date and details of their payments through two official channels:
- The Non-Attendant Services Portal at es.tamin.ir
- The “Tamin Man” mobile application, available on major app stores.
These platforms provide up-to-date information on payment status, monthly pay slips, and official announcements.
Commitment to Regular and Transparent Payments
In its official communications, the Social Security Organization has reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring regular, timely, and transparent pension disbursements. The new payment model is part of broader financial policies to optimize resource management. The organization has also assured that future payments will follow this new schedule, with any adjustments for official holidays being communicated promptly through its official channels.
This systematic approach, alongside other recent welfare initiatives, is viewed as a crucial measure for building confidence and enhancing the satisfaction of the nation’s retirees.
