Rewritten Title: Phased Payment of Pension Adjustments Underway, Official Confirms

Pension Payment Process in Motion
A senior official from the High Council of Iranian Social Security Retirees has confirmed that the long-awaited process of paying pension adjustments, which were due from the beginning of the last Iranian calendar year, is now actively underway. The official addressed recent inquiries from pensioners regarding the timeline for these payments.
Clarification on Disbursement Schedule
Mr. Dadash Mohammadi, a board member of the council, clarified that the disbursement of the adjustment arrears began on a scheduled date and is proceeding systematically. “The payment process, organized alphabetically, is ongoing and will continue according to the established plan,” Mohammadi stated. He urged for patience, noting that the final stages of the distribution are being completed.
He acknowledged, however, that the value of the delayed payment has been impacted by economic conditions since its original due date, a point of concern for retirees reliant on these funds for essential goods and services.
Government Commitment and Settlement
The payment initiative follows the government’s commitment to settling its substantial financial obligations to the Social Security Organization. This settlement, a significant financial undertaking, has enabled the organization to allocate funds for these pension adjustments, as well as for complementary insurance services and medical centers.
Systematic and Supervised Distribution
To ensure an orderly process and prevent systemic overload, the payments are being carried out in phases. Initial payments were prioritized for pensioners receiving lower monthly incomes. For other pensioner groups, the distribution is proceeding based on an alphabetical order across various partner banks.
Authorities have emphasized that the Social Security Organization and pensioner associations are closely monitoring the daily disbursement process. The stated goal is to ensure that no eligible retiree is omitted and that all entitled arrears are fully settled. Retirees have been advised to contact their respective pensioner association branches should any discrepancies arise.
This structured payment plan represents a significant step by the relevant national institutions toward fulfilling their obligations to the retiree community, a key segment of Iranian society. The methodical approach is designed to ensure the complete and accurate settlement of all outstanding adjustment claims in the near future.
