Progress on Pending Payments
A significant step is being taken to address the financial entitlements of Iran’s Social Security retirees. According to recent reports, the long-anticipated third phase of payments, covering arrears from the previous Iranian year, is now in its final stages of processing and is expected to be disbursed shortly.
Clarifying the Payment Schedule
Reports from labor news agency ILNA confirm that while payments for minimum-wage retirees and survivors of the Social Security Organization have already been completed, the arrears for a specific group of approximately one million retirees—those receiving monthly pensions above a certain threshold—are now being prioritized. The original schedule for these payments was set for after the disbursement of the current month’s pensions.
Financial Prudence and Fulfillment of Obligations
The brief delay in this specific allocation has been attributed to a period of careful financial management and resource allocation by the organization in recent months. The release of these funds is closely tied to the finalization of a major, ongoing governmental financial process, which is now in its concluding phases. This measured approach underscores a commitment to fiscal responsibility while working to meet all obligations.
Expected Timeline for Disbursement
Ongoing follow-ups indicate a strong likelihood that these overdue payments will be coordinated and distributed alongside the regular pensions for the upcoming month. This move is set to provide timely financial relief to the retirees, who have been awaiting the fulfillment of these commitments. The timely settlement of these arrears is a key focus, ensuring the valued contributions of retirees are honored.
