Final Phase of April Pension Adjustments Nears Completion, Officials Announce
A significant administrative process to settle pension adjustments for millions of retirees is entering its final stage, according to recent announcements from the Social Security Organization. The initiative addresses the annual salary adjustment and the resulting payment arrears dating back to the Iranian month of Farvardin (March-April 2024).
A Phased Approach to Payment
To ensure systematic and efficient fund management, the organization has implemented the settlement in distinct phases. The first phase, completed on September 2, 2024, covered retirees and disabled individuals whose total benefits did not exceed 20 million tomans.
The second phase was subsequently executed, with payments delivered between September 19 and 21, 2024, coinciding with the regular pension disbursement for the month of Shahrivar.
Focus on the Final Phase
Attention is now centered on the third and final payment group, which includes higher-income retirees and survivors of deceased pensioners. The delay in this final disbursement has been a point of discussion among the retiree community.
In a recent statement, the Director General of the Kermanshah Province Social Security Office provided clarity on the timeline. He confirmed that all arrears for survivors and for retirees with benefits under 20 million tomans have been fully settled. For the remaining pensioners—those with benefits exceeding 20 million tomans—the payments are scheduled for completion by October 6, 2024.
This timeline has been corroborated by communications from the organization’s public contact center, Samaneh 1420, which has informed inquiring retirees that the outstanding arrears will be deposited by the end of the Iranian month of Mehr (October 22, 2024).
Streamlined Access for Pensioners
To facilitate easy access to payment information, the Social Security Organization has directed retirees to its online portal, es.tamin.ir, and the “Tamin Man” mobile application. This digital initiative aims to provide immediate access to pay slips and benefit details, reducing systemic bottlenecks and ensuring pensioners can monitor their accounts conveniently.
The ongoing effort to finalize these adjustments underscores the government’s commitment to fulfilling its obligations to the retiree community, a key segment of the nation’s social fabric.
